The Last Weekend in April 2012

This weekend started with some bad stuffs. Woke up 7a.m. in the morning for the earliest 8.30a.m. class. Went home straight after the classes ended at 12p.m. Was kinda emo because think of a dream. Dreamt a person that I shouldn't dreamt, first thing after I on my laptop was to get a person to talk to to distract my attention. Mum received a call then saying that her cousin bro just passed away because of cancer. Young as only 40+, kids still small, how sad it is~ Why is human's life so fragile!!

Flu invaded again in the noon. Having sore throat as well. Perhaps because of the nuggets and fries I had last week. Took medicine and went to sleep after that. Papa didn't go for work due to restaurant closed because of Bersih 3.0. I was like be sunk in sleep, alarm couldn't wake me up like I had some sleeping pills. Medicine strong till I've slept from 4p.m. to 1a.m.. Was feeling so hungry after the sleep but due to sore throat I couldn't eat anything hot and heaty. Had a glass of honey juice and some biscuit but couldn't eat more. Continued my sleep after 2 hours.

Fall sick last Tuesday, virus went around the office and I became the victim. Went to see doctor half way working, but I didn't ask for MC. After the medicine I feel better, and I got to go back home at 6p.m. sharp!! Perhaps the medicine too strong, the next day I've fully recovered. I tell my boss, don't know where the virus gone already.

Was thinking about the same question since last time. Why do some people talk without thinking in deep, and when they turned and walked away, how would the other feels?? Dead people maybe have lots to tell their beloved but living people can just ignore how other feels. There are people leaving everyday but you wouldn't know what's happening the next day. You can don't even care about the person but please don't let the person leave with repentant. 

No idea I've sealed off my feelings, firewall set when I'm out of work. I'm lost to nowhere. Think of some words that you said to me, it does make me happy. But it passed means passed. I'm kind of stubborn that still don't know how to leave it all behind. 

The Week Without Mum @ Home

Mum went for travel to China with aunt and her friends for a week, coming back on today actually but she called back this afternoon and says that no flight today so will only back on tomorrow. During the whole week without mum, we all have to eat ourselves. Tapao dinner for lil bro and myself after work, otherwise cook noodle instead of tapao.

Starwood has a newsletter with blog entries about sales in every Starwood hotels. Lucky to join the photoshoot together with the winning manager, other colleagues as well as the Hotel Manager and the GM. 

My department has earned some incentives for 3K plus thus we are planning for an outing at the end of May. Not sure where we going yet but this gonna be my first outing with my colleagues, sure it will be an exciting and fun trip;) Like to go travel with a bunch of people, I wish someday I could afford to go travel to Europe with my family.

Had a dream last night which was about I'm going to get married, but with a person that I don't know. In reality, I believe I wouldn't do such thing cuz I'm a stubborn and persistence person in relationship, like means like and so opposite. However it's just a dream. But I've checked with Uncle Google, the dream is a good sign for my career. So no worries la~

Finished the Hong Kong drama 'Yes Sir Sorry Sir' on PPS without waiting Astro Wah Lai Toi. Cuz the drama will be ended at 10.30p.m. and I can't wait till 10.30p.m. sometimes and have to go to bed earlier, so I chose to finish it on PPS. Kinda sympathize on Ms. Koo's (Linda Chung) situation cuz she is really innocent, to be cheated in her relationship by Lo Sir (Moses Chan) to complete his mission by arrested her brother in law who doing illegal business. Like Linda Chung's drama as well, I'm always her drama's supporter. The end of the story is not too bad, but it doesn't justify very clear in their relationships what I expected. Linda's character in the drama is a cool person, but love able to make her heart melted and fell into Moses. As what people say normally, love is blind. For me, love makes people's heart blind. And that's why she hurts a lot by who she loved most. That's pain most in an relationship. 

Oh yeah, I was talking bout to write a food review about the lunch I had in my hotel's restaurant. The blog will be delayed due to some reasons. Stay tuned and you will get to see what nice food I had:)

Au Revoir!

Sleepless Weekend

Another weekend again~Hey guys & girls, how's your weekend?

It's the 4th week, stepping into a month. So far I'm still happy with my job, mixed well with my colleagues makes me feel like I've joined one year. Choosing a right job is important as you will feel happy from morning till evening, reached home you still can smile till end of the day, like this at least you pass the day happily, everyday. Life is too short as we won't know what's gonna happen tomorrow, so......treat yourself good, and treasure whatever in your life.

Last week was a sleepless weekend for me, as I did not really sleep much till noon. Saturday woke up early for 10.00a.m. class and didn't take nap in the noon. Slept in middle of the night and woke up early morning to go shopping in Sunway Pyramid with mum & sis. After shopping went lunch with cousins in Subang for seafood. Owh it's been a long time I don't really eat crab, cuz I'm a super lazy person. But the crab looks yummy enough to make me forget about my laziness......

Ta-da!

Wednesday was a public holiday, and I was planning to bring mum for a movie the day before. Wanted to make ticket booking online but it's not available anymore. Went to Mid Valley in the early morning, there was already a long queue lining up for movie tickets. Cousin sis went there early before 10.00a.m. to queue for the tickets but too bad, the tickets were sold out around 11.00a.m..So we just continue shopping till lunch time, then had our lunch at Madam Kwan. Such a long time I don't dine in in Madam Kwan, and I miss the Salted Fish Fried Rice very much! I ordered it and of course with NO VEGE haha...

Madam Kwan famous with their Nasi Lemak, but I prefer this Salted Fish Fried Rice with NO VEGE more...LOL

Was so tired after back from shopping, would consider to watch the movie at 8.45p.m. if I don't need to work on the next day......

Chat with an ex-colleague a.k.a old friend last night, a sweet girl who was hired through me when I was in JWM. Was so surprised when she told me that she did read my blog! And I never knew she misses me so much! Awwww I'm so touched......Dear Pei Jing, this line is quite hard to survive if you don't have passion on it, but I believe you will get to find a job which you like and happy to work on it. Gambateh and all the best to both of us, and do keep in touch, I would like to have a date and chit chat with you someday;)

Sometimes I do miss some old friends in JWM, glad to meet all of you and you guys brought wonderful colors to my life. I'm a sentimental person, and always live in the past. I won't forget whoever had fun time with me, you guys have became part of the stories in my life.

This morning almost overslept, was too tired last night. Promised my 3 cuties to give them a gift as their reward for study well in the class last week. Bought 3 little cute notepads for them, the purpose is I wish them to utilize it in a good way, it's actually for them to write down what they've learnt in my class. And I'm happy to see them keep holding the notepad, especially Chloe. She keeps flipping the notepad and tells me it's so cute, 3 of them like the notepad very much. A smile on my face when I see a smile on their faces:) An accomplishment smile!

This week actually nothing much for me, will be staying at home and not going anywhere as I'm tired and lazy this week. Mum also going for travel tomorrow and come back next week. Whole week I have to 'eat myself'. Save my energy and enjoy my weekend with tv and laptop. So far don't have any plan yet for next weekend, perhaps will be staying at home again......

Not many pictures taken this week, share an old picture of mine as the ending of this post......This picture was taken 3 years ago, makes me feel so good to be young. See you next week!

Steamboat Night @ Sri Petaling + Happy Easter!

Hi~I'm here again after a week:)

Time flies as I've worked in Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur for 3 weeks. Some people who knows that I've moved did care and ask about how is my new working place, new work and etc. Thanks for concern, I'm good and happy. People around are nice and friendly, I'm doing fine with my new job as well. And I met two of them who used to worked in the same hotel with me before. Kenjoe Loh, who had his training in Equatorial Kuala Lumpur with me last year; Jasmi, the bellman who used to work in Grand Seasons Kuala Lumpur when I was in training for diploma in year 2008. Meeting back old friends makes me feel good:)

Woke up early for 10.00a.m. class yesterday morning, and finally get to see them after 2 weeks! They are my cute students ~xoxo~

Left to Right: Ashter, Kevin & Chloe

The person who taking care of the centre tells me that the kids miss me cuz did not see me for 2 weeks. Awww I feel so surprised! Happy to see them back, they still have lots story to tell. 

Went steamboat for dinner @ Harbour Steamboat, Sri Petaling with my dear sis Sabrina & Colie, as well as my Finance lecturer Mr Wong, as this planned earlier and suggested by Mr Wong. He says once you tried their steamboat, you won't get other better than this. Saw some good reviews online too so we decided to have it. It was fully booked for 8.00p.m. so we booked the seat for 9.00p.m.. Reached there around 8.50p.m., order first before we got the table. It's not in buffet style so consider quite pricey as they calculate by per dishes. End up 4 of us paid RM200+ for the total of the bill. Conclusion: Not bad still, I like the herbal soup base most. *drooling* (And I ate quite a lot pork liver actually@.@) Well, will bring my family there for a try since it's so popular. *Special thanks to Mr Wong for bringing us for nice food*

We've chosen 2 flavors for the soup base.

Left one is Macau Pork Ribs Soup; Right one is Hua-Diao Herbal Soup.

Ichiban yo!

There goes my Saturday night X_X. And yeah, don't forget it's Easter today! Have you planned for a meal at anywhere for good food on this Easter Day? Or still cracking your head don't know where to go? Well, Le Meridien Hotel Kuala Lumpur is having this Easter Brunch promo for TODAY ONLY, from 12.00p.m. to 3.00p.m. @ RM128 per person; RM 228 with free flow of wine, juices and soft drinks. There will be some activities such as egg painting and photograph sessions during the brunch. So what are you waiting for??? Move now!!

Last but not least, Happy Easter people!

A Busy Saturday Morning

Bonjour! It's another weekend again~

Well well well, I was quite busy yesterday in the morning. Woke up in the early morning to go for body check. Lil sis accompanied me to the panel clinic for Le Meridien KL @ Capsquare Mall behind Sheraton Imperial KL, was lost to nowhere cuz we did not know where the actual location is...Finally found the clinic after asking few people nearby there. Spent about an hour plus to finish up the whole body check, owh my bloody blood test was luckily just simply a jab on my finger to get a lil bit of my blood. Ok fine, I was thinking and worried too much lol.

Alrite, rush to Taylors right after done my body check. Paid my graduation fee, and had lunch with sista @ The V after that. After lunch we were thinking to have some desserts, then we realized it's 31st, and Baskin Robbins is just one more floor up, so we decided to have ice-cream @ Baskin Robbins after our lunch...And we ordered this!

Chocolate & Cotton Candy Flavoured!

My Creamy Mushroom Risotto

We both ordered Pink Guava~

I'm back to Taylor's after a year!

A lot of new shops opened @ commercial block there, forgotten there is a Chatime over there. Too bad we were too full after Baskin Robbins, otherwise I'll have Chatime instead of Baskin Robbins ice cream. Fine, left Taylors after that and went to Plaza Damas @ Hartamas for grocery shopping again. When we reached home it was about to evening.

Was thinking to join a friend's outing but unfortunately got flu suddenly. Aiyo~just done body check why laa now only got flu??? So sorry to ffk. Let's plan again for next outing ok?

Alrite~Another topic about my work. Joined Le Meridien for 2 weeks time already, able to pick up tasks so far but still slow:( I know I couldn't be an expert in just 2 weeks time, but I just want to finish work early by 6pm so I can go home on time. Still have to be more careful about the details to be changed in the contract and proposals, otherwise I would have to change and change again, wasted my time. At the moment, still able to leave home latest about 7.30pm. 

I joined the orientation on the 2nd week Monday, and of course got to have lunch @ the all day dining restaurant - Latest Recipe. It's served with buffet style, all the food were look nice to eat but too bad, cuz I would never get to taste all of them. I was lucky to taste Carbonara prepared by the Executive Chef - Chef Antoine. He's funny when cooking my Carbonara, put his hand into his pocket and take out acting like putting something into my Carbonara but actually was nothing. I asked what he added inside, he says that's his latest recipe. After the Carbonara I was able to taste some sushi, very fresh oyster with lemon juice, as well as desserts like marshmallow with chocolate!! Was too full after the lunch, too bad still unable to taste all the food in Latest Recipe. Will get chance to dine in there again for 50% staff discount hehehe!

Mushroom Carbonara and sushi:)

Didn't get to capture the oysters and desserts...

Next one, I met the Director of Training - Mr Azlin from Sheraton Imperial KL in Le Meridien KL on Thursday morning, and he still remember me after 3 years plus! Had a short conversation with him in the training room, and he told me left him and another HR Exec - Cheng Yee are still there since I left, the rest are new. Well I told him I went thru a big round and finally I'm back to Starwood. Good that finally I'm with Starwood, hotel line is really a small industry, what I mean here is when people asks where are you from previously, they will know the story when you mention your boss's name(If they know). Errr, I mean nothing. 

Alrite! It's middle of the night now, I got flu and I should rest early but just to update this blog. Gonna off to bed and it's April Fool today! Nothing special on this day, just make sure won't be fooled by someone else....Happy April Fool!!

Journey in Starwood - Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur

Elo~It's weekend! Well, just got back from dinner at daddy's place with lecturer, Mr. Wong Heng San and Sabrina, and few juniors from Indonesia. Nice chat with all of them, shared about my working life, and their France Trip. Oh I miss my France Trip seriously!!It's been a year ago, and now I'm working after a year. Time really flies!! I've asked Mr. Wong to save a place for me if he's going for France Trip again next year. Sir, remember you've promised me ah~ Slot me in if possible!

These are what we ordered for 8 pax!

Before got into our cars, snap first;)

Alright, back to the topic. I drove to hotel on Monday morning. After some forms filling up in HR department, I was brought to Sales department to meet my colleagues. They are Janny(DOSM), Suresh(DOS), Retna(DOS Meetings & Events), Nikie(ADOS), Damian (ODM), Vinnie (ODE), Ann(AM), Lanise(SAM), four Meetings & Events Executives - Chereene, Azian, Ellise, and Kelly, sales coordinator on events side - Genevieve and the trainee Yun Sze, and another sales coordinator on rooms side - Shelyn. Ta-da!!They're all my lovely colleagues but too bad, Shelyn is leaving us to Hyatt, and we had a farewell dinner for her on Friday night after work. 

My notebook with Le Meridien's logo & my Employee ID

I started picking up the tasks slowly. Learnt how to do proposal and corporate rate at the beginning, and pick up calls for inquiries. First and second day was quite free cuz I'm still new, able to got back home early:) It's been a long while I didn't get to see sky in bright when finished work! Reached home and finished dinner early, so I get to go on to bed early as well;)But this happened again - I was using hp to online on Tuesday night, and don't know how I left it with WiFi ON and fell asleep! Woke up around 2.20am, shocked when I saw my hp with WiFi still on. Sigh, this is not my first time-.- 

Took LRT to work on Wednesday and Thursday, feeling so nice cuz I don't need to drive, don't need to stuck in terrible traffic! It's really convenient cuz when I came out from KL Sentral, hotel is just opposite. The only thing is I'm still not very familiar in doing proposals, so I'm very slow. If I have 3 to 4 proposals have to be sent out on the same day, definitely I would need to stay back. Normally a proposal just need to spend not even an hour to be done, but I'm just very slow enough cuz not very familiar. Now forcing myself to do it more faster, have to do more and familiarize with the system. And I can feel the motivation, a secret power that pushing me to move on. That's good cuz I can't feel motivation when I was in JWM. Maybe I made the right decision?

So I'm part of Starwood now. Gonna keep my finger crossed, I can pick up all my works fast, and get promoted in a year!

A Presumptuous Day

'The Hippocratic Crush' has ended Friday night, I was outside meeting up with ex-colleagues @ Pavillion. Came back around 11.30pm, I watched the repeat one. Good ending, and it's the best TVB's drama so far for this year. It is worth for watching it, as it teaches people how to treasure and appreciate their life, the people, and things around them. 

Friday night around 8pm, I was about going out. Just went into my car, mum heard someone shouting. I wasn't realize as was in the car. The auntie staying next and next to my house got her handbag snatched. Others came out as well to check out what happened. The auntie says she was going out to work, and cuz she parked her car outside the house so she's holding her handbag tight. She awared there's a bike coming so she walked in near to the gate. There were 2 malay bastards stopped in front of my house, try snatching her bag hardly. And the auntie got kicked down cuz she holding her bag tight, the bastards gone off after they got the bag.

I was thinking would I be the victim if my car is outside the house? It's scary! What happened to the society now?! We're now more alert when car going out and coming in, gate has to be closed once car went out or in. And luckily my car is in the house, otherwise I will be the victim.

Had class from 10am-11.30am on the next day morning, and went to shopping straight @ Plaza Damas after that. Quite enjoyed the feeling shopping alone, and I bought some food from Mercato, fruits from MBG and masks from pharmacy. Quite some time didn't eat cherry tomato and suddenly miss it when I walked to MBG. 

 Went shopping alone after class.

 Can't control myself with Hello Kitty...*Loves*

 Marshmallow~to eat with melted chocolate!

Certainly, these are masks for myself:)

Try to spend money as how I want, but in controlled:) Was a presumptuous day for me. Well, gonna start new job on Monday onwards, wish and pray hard, everything's gonna be very very fine for me. 

~A Good News~

Remember that I told in my post on Sunday that stay tune and wait for the good news? Yes, I received the good news this morning, at 11.10a.m., on my bed. Yes, I was still sleeping. But can't continue sleep after the I got the call...


Woke up straight and on my laptop to share this good news with my friends. I got the offer from Le Meridien Hotel Kuala Lumpur, will be starting on next monday as a Sales-Coodinator. This is a very good opportunity for me as Le Meridien is under a very potential Starwood Hotels & Resorts Group, it will be a new experience for me.


New challenges awaiting me! Gonna keep my finger crossed and wish I could overcome any of the obstacles in work. 

Tears Again for 'The Hippocratic Crush'

Hong Kong dramas are my favourite since kindergarten, among those Singapore's, China's...Well, affected by my father:) He used to rent those dramas in video tape (VCD or DVD still not known yet), so can say that Hong Kong dramas have been accompanied me since my immature period. Like few of these very hit ealier on: 'Heart of Greed', 'Moonlight Resonance', Series of 'Forensic Heroes', 'Lives of Omission'......

Well, there are now 2 dramas showing on Astro On Demand (AOD), 'The Hippocratic Crush' & 'Queens of Diamond and Hearts'. 'The Hippocratic Crush' is a drama all about doctors while 'Queens of Diamond and Hearts' is a comedy revised from history, but 'The Hippocratic Crush' able to catch my eyes due to the actors casting. 

Tavia Yeung and Kenneth Ma are one of my favourite hk actors, and they are the main characters in 'The Hippocratic Crush'. Both of them have been partnered in few dramas like 'A Fistful of Stances' and 'The Mysteries of Love', but acting lovers is the first time. The first thing I got attracted was because of the casting, after that the stories, how the plot goes were catching my eyes to watch it every day.

TVB has few of the dramas about doctors, about how they gonna save people, why they wanna be a doctor. What so special about the story in 'The Hippocratic Crush' is, 'The greater of ability, the greater of responsibility'. The person who has stronger ability, the heavier responsibilities he/she has in the society than most of the people. The doctor's responsibility is to save or cure the patient, but actually doctor also serving other identity concurrently, such as father, son or daughter, brother and etc. When the character overlaps, the identity has conflicts, the doctor may be lost. They can only carry on the responsibilities of saving life when they found the direction and goals.

Beginning of the story was few of the young people went into the same hospital as basic trainees for their training, and they experienced different things in different sections. There was an episode that everyone is graduating, but one of them not willing to stay as a doctor because his ambition is to open a workshop. Its like me, beginning I was in the hotel for training, and I experienced different things in different department. And I was willing to teach after my previous job. The doctor after that understood that if he gives up to be a doctor, there will be short of one doctor to save lives in the world. 

It was the 22nd episode last night, the role of Kenneth's (Yat Kin) brother, Yat Hong died because of accident. Before that Yat Kin was operating surgery for the brother, but end up still failed. Yat Kin was blaming himself for causing his brother's dead, the accident few years ago caused him handicapped, and because he's handicapped he's unable to avoid the glass bottle after he saved an old man from that glass bottle. The scene touched my heart and, my tears out......

Yat Kin blaming himself for failed to save his brother, Yu Zai consoling him.

This drama makes me realized that actually doctor's carrying a very heavy responsibility because they're holding their patient's life. Once mistake made they will be no more second chance, as there is no take two for life. In hotel line, decision making is very important as well. Once mistake has been made, it could be affecting the whole operation and the business. 

The next thing I concern is their relationships. Yu Zai has a crush on Yat Kin at the beginning, and she confesses to him incidently. But Yat Kin wasn't accepted her as he treats her just like friends, good friends. Yu Zai sends him a card everyday, writing all her mood, what she sees during her work everyday. Yat Kin read all the cards, and started fall to her, after she got his brother a 'stand-up wheel chair'. Meanwhile, Yu Zai's sister Mei Shuet has fallen to Yat Kin as well. Yu Zai started to keep distance and avoid Yat Kin, and denies she still has feeling with Yat Kin because of her sister. This blog actually similar to the cards sent by Yu Zai to Yat Kin, it records my feelings, my mood, what I experienced in the days, but I have no any specific person to read this. Not I don't have, but don't know whether will he read my blog? This blog created to write down my feelings, my mood, anything of me, to let people know me better, understand me better. I'm kind of not good in expressing, even if I admiring a person, I would just hide and not telling, so writing will be the best expression for me.

Anyway, 'The Hippocratic Crush' is going to the end of the story in 3 more episodes. Guess that everyone is guessing how would be the final episode goes? Heard that the 2 main characters is confirmed to start their love story, but no idea how the plot will go. Just hope it will be a happy ending. Just like me, hoping for a happy ending.

My day~

Sunday was the final for All England Championship, I believe many people was waiting till the end to watch the match between Dato Lee Chong Wei & Lin Dan. (End up feel sleepy when working?LOL) I was waiting for this match as well, till they started the match. Around 1.30am, Dato Lee announces to give up in the match due to arm injured. It's kinda sad as we just want to watch this super stimulating match. Well, Lin Dan has won the champion for All England 2012. Wish Dato Lee's injured arm can be recovered soon and wouldn't affect his performance in the coming Olympic Games.Once the award presentation ended, I went to the bed. Turned left and right on the bed, end up I slept around 3am.

Woke up 6am the next day morning to bath, make up and prepare things that bringing for interview, I left house at 8.30am. Was worrying I will lost in KL Sentral cuz don't really know well the location there, but still manage to park my car in KL Sentral and walk over to hotel. (Why not park in the hotel?) Not a big distance between, yet hotel parking........you know I know la~) I walked to the hotel lobby without notice, till I realized that I should go through security department first, I've reached the hotel lobby. One of the staff guided me the way to security department, then another security staff guided me to HR department. 

The first person I saw was a young girl, she brings me to the interview room, gives me the application form. Done the form in about 10 mins?Then I pass it back to the girl and wait in the interview room. Honestly, I was very nervous in previous interview with Westin Hotel KL last year, don't know why. Hmmn, today's mood ok, I try to smile more and not to be too shy. 2 interviewers came in, they are Ms. Nikkie and Mr. Suresh. Ms. Nikkie is the Assistant Sales Manager (if not mistaken), a very young lady while Mr. Suresh is the Director of Sales (a nice man). Well, they asked me some questions and told me something about Starwood, explained to me what I would need to do if I'm hired and etc. The interview took aboout half and hour I think, followed by HR person. Interview with HR took about 10 mins, the person who interviewed me says he will let me know the answer by this week, probably Thursday. I left hotel then walk over to KL Sentral to the carpark.

Reached home around 11.30am, was feeling sleepy cuz just had 3 hours sleep. Rest awhile, went out with family to One Utama. Since working, quite a long time I didn't hang out with family like this. Thinking that if I'm working at that time, probably I'll b left out.

No idea how many of you would be reading my blog, feel free to leave any comment if you would like to, or bookmark this page to read whenever you want. Not forcing, if you think not worth doing it you can please leave this page:) IMMEDIATELY!!! 

Bla Bla Bla~That's all for today...Ohya! Pray hard for good news coming this Thursday>.< Good Night!;)
