International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009

The 1st Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009 was held from 19th till 22nd March. We went on a Sunday late afternoon. An eye opening experience because never expect the balloon can be sooooooooo BIG!

It was rather hot but the sky was clear and nice.
A lot of professional and amateur photographers were there to capture nice shot.
That made like it a camera exhibition too – long, big, small, DSLR, etc all sorts of cameras you can find.

Flying kites...

Paraflying...

Yes yes, preparing to fly the hot air balloon!

Oh, more air please~

Hooray~ it's F.L.Y.I.N.G!

More balloons...

Sun set in Putrajaya on our way back. Nice?
Made me missing the Cyberjaya sun set days~

Thank-You-Note

Thanks again to dear friends for the lovely gift! :)

Amazing - A Mei

The long awaited concert I've been longing for.
Good. Good. And very good.
She never disappoints me, as always.

How amazing.

Everybody was so high, energetic and touching.
It was not just A Mei's concert. It was everybody's concert because everybody sings!
From the beginning t ill the end.
Even those ma lat lou sitting next to us joined the crowd to dance with their rigid movement and rhythm~ Haha!
Like a huge music class. Really fantastic.

Was Gkai's birthday too.
Everybody sang birthday song, for the dancer and for all birthday boys & girls.
How touching.

Cousin #1 worried about the stadium might collapsed as everybody danced, analyzing which block would be impacted most and concluded that our block should be the safest. Ha~

Cousin #2 kept receivin g phone calls from little son who got worried about dear mommy. Been calling 423984 times to ask, "Mommy, are you back yet?" and called "Mommy, already 11.30pm, are you coming back soon?" Haha, not easy for mother who 'sneaked out' to have fun.

Can't wait for the concert DVD to be released.
Definitely worth for collection.
A-Mei, you're really the diva.
Thank you for the wonderful night :)

一场大病. 一个婚礼. 一份礼物

病了一大场
缠人的咳嗽让人彻夜难眠
带着微弱的身子返乡赴宴











笑脸盈盈的不只有久违的亲友
更有倍增亲切的爱心苦口良药

于是 从不甘示弱兼恼人的咳嗽坏蛋
终于 也抵挡不住爱心攻势宣告败退

啊~ 天晓得原来可以好好睡一觉是那么的幸福!
戒了好久的口也不管他爸的三七二十一食指大开
爽死了!

只有家 苦涩难咽的药也可以变得顺口
只有家 千篇一律的叮咛也可百听不厌

人嘛
东西要稀有方觉其珍贵
回家次数逐渐变少以后
才懂家的温馨

友情
也何尝不是呢?

昔日好姐妹 皆为前途各奔东西
聚会时间也相对减少
难得叙旧何其珍贵也!

女人一生
爱情固然重要
可友情也不容忽视
所谓姐妹淘 正是有心事可以互相诉说
有悲伤一起分担 有快乐一起分享的人

话说回来
告别了三天两夜的家乡小憩
短暂充电让身心灵焕然一新
继而踏上归途重返打拼之地
踏入家门仰入眼帘的
竟是来自远方的祝福 物轻情意重

虽说包装乃嫌抱歉
但却尽诉千言万语
在此衷心向刘大哥曾小妹致万二分谢意!











从前 现在 将后
深厚情谊依然温存
两个女人 叽哩呱啦地
常常聊个天南地北 有完没完
想必刘大哥可吓坏了吧? 哈!

好了
碎碎念完毕
是时候向周公报到了

最后
想祝福一对新人 白头携老
此次婚宴乃不虚此行
对婚礼
又有了新见解

晚安!

My Birthday

What do you have for your birthday?
Gifts? Birthday Cakes?
Nah. I've more than just that.

Was "granted" MC (medical certificate) on my birthday.
It was all started on a Sunday night with high fever + bad sore throat.
Since then, it fluctuates like share price, from 39^oC to 36^oC to 38.5^oC.

It became even more merrier on my birthday, as Mr. Fever brought along all the family members (Ms. Cough, Ms. Flu and not to mention Dato' Sore Throat that causes me sleepless nights) to celebrate my birthday. What an honour.

Well if the situation persists, will need to go back to the doctor and have blood test. That is the most worried part - Chikungunya? Hope not. I would naively think it's just because not having enough rest and eating too much chocolate :P

And it's lunch time now, my Dearest Bread and Darling Porridge are waiting for me :)

Being young again...

This is a back dated post :P

Went for a concert couple of weeks ago so I had the chance of being young again... I mean, 'irrationally' young. Will show evidence later.

Anyway, there were quite a lot of singers performing - 周華健 (Emil Chow)、庾澄慶 (Harlem Yu)、林俊傑 (JJ)、衛蘭 (Janice)、泳兒 (Vincy)、范瑋琪 (Cristine Fan)、蕭敬騰 (Jam Hsiao)、神木與瞳 (Y2J)、李志清、溫力銘 (Danny), 陳詩莉 (Desiree)、Manhand慢行 & 黃啟銘.

神木與瞳 (Y2J) being the most impressive one with their 《為你而活》, they really heat up the whole atmosphere that everyone got so high and sang (or shout) along.

And of course, not forgotten 林俊傑 (JJ) being the most adorable one :)

(p/s Leaving this space empty to upload youtube video - need expertise (you know who you are) to enlighten me on how to share youtube here, haha)

And lastly, what I meant by being young?

1. Standing at the rock area there with a bunch of young people (especially the one who made me there)
   
2. Sacrificed my shoe by walking through thick mud to get into the area! (See evidence below)

Additional Note @ 13 Jan 2009: Apparently my dear friend do not understand why the above picture was taken. Haha. So hopefully this is clear enough for an answer:

TGIF!

Another long working day...

Look at the sky when I left office...

It's sooooooooooooo dark. Isnt?

Anyway.

Thank God It's Friday!

First Week of 2009

Brief update for the very first week of the year:

For Him:
1. Busy at work
2. Loaded with work
3. Tired from work
4. Traffic jam to work
5. Still have to work!

For Her:
Same as the above.

Haha. That explains the inactive status of the blog for the week!

W.E.L.C.O.M.E. 2009!

Finally here it comes the long awaited 2009. Well, I can’t predict how well it would be compared to 2008, but I will definitely welcome it with positivity :)

Before embarking on the New Year mindset (it’s already New Year though), let’s briefly conclude my 2008 – A year with tears and blood (有血有泪的一年)!

Reason being? 2008 welcomed me (note: not the other way round) with not only the numerical growing in age, but also ‘physically’ wiser with a series of wisdom tooth ‘drama’. It was indeed a memorable experience even for a forgetful person like me. I can still recall the operation I had on valentine day and the subsequent terrific experiences. Too many first time of my life happened in 2008. First time operation for wisdom tooth, dirtied Sean’s bed sheet (in Parit Buntar) due to my blood stain from operation, first time SEVERE gastric due to painkiller, first time having to spend CNY in hospital and witness the life and death moment, first time blood donation, etc etc… Oh ya, and not forgotten the tear flowing session from watching Japanese drama based on real life story namely “1 Liter of Tears”. Haha, it was also another memorable one because I cried till having headache for the subsequent days.

2009? I don’t know how will it be like, but with the additional responsibilities at work, I guess it will be a challenging and a much looked-forward year for me :)

Resolutions?
1. Remind myself to fill in “25” in the age column instead of “24”
2. Remember to buckle up the rear seatbelt!

Hehe, Happy New Year! :P

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

This year around, we might not have the luxury of time and money for a long vacation, but we do enjoy it in our own way. Hehe!

Hope everyone enjoys this special occasion too! :)

My Silent Night

Silent night is meant to be a silent one.

Perhaps I wasn’t old enough to understand the in depth meaning of a silent night. As far as I could recall, for the past few years especially throughout the university life, this day has always been occupied. Be it with celebrations, gathering, or even assignments and the deadly final exams!

Oh, Amitābha~ at such old age of 24, finally God has given me the wisdom to understand and even experience a real silent night!

Picture speaks more than a thousand words here…

Yes. it’s mine. Ouch! Donating blood on a Christmas Eve!

This is my 2nd time donating blood. People do show dubious expression about it and I always had to reiterate the same answer, “Yes, I’m eligible to donate blood with sufficient weight-lah”.

Even though I “outperformed” Mr Sean this time that I no longer having pale face during the donation, but I still feel the tiredness from it now. (Note: According to the nurse Mr Sean didn’t have “proper” breakfast. But the fact is we took the same thing in the morning. So the only reason I could figure out is … hmmm… his food intake is no longer enough to “satisfy” his growing body size anymore, haha!)

Anyway, aside from the blood donation, we’ve decided to spend the night *silently* with a few glasses of red wine…. And now, with the alcohol effect I am getting so sleepy that I realize it’s time to surrender the nocturnal creature status as how it used to be years ago. Staying late night and hanging around is no longer my cup of tea now…

Well, people chase after different things in different stages of life. My 2008 silent night perfectly reflects the transition of my life now. At this point of time, what I pursue in life is just as simple as a silent night. I feel fortunate and hope this is still not too late for me to be enlightened that "Simplicity Means Happiness" :)

My Silent Night… May everyone has a Merry Christmas~
