BFF gathering @ Old Town, Metro Point

I had a wonderful day today, minus the morning hectic schedule. I was supposed to wake up at 9.30, but ended up got up at 10 am. Had a scary nightmare yesterday. I dreamt bout a zombie (Or vampire!) chased after me in a forest and TRIED to kiss me ( hell no way!). WendyO was in there too. Then, a bunch of those scary alien creatures appeared and chased after us the humans. Then , what happened after that was quite blur. After a tremendous shock from waking up late, I went straight to refresh myself then went to fetch Glynn and Grace. Nancy came to join us after a while, we then bought a chocolate cake from Suki Bakery for May Yee. It's her birthday!! There's 7 of us for the gathering, me, Nancy, Grace, Jia Wern, Charissa, Glynn, and May Yee. Surprisingly, Wendy and her bf, Henry were at Metro Point too, so invited them to join along. First time talked face to face with Henry. They dropped by for a while only, then went dating again. The rest of us talked and talked until 12 something. Its been so long we didn't gathered up to chat like just now already. Had much jokes and laughed like during high school time. At bout 12, we sang May Yee a birthday song and ate the cake together. Nancy and JIa Wern went back after that cuz they have to go back to NS camp. 5 of us hang out there until 12.30 pm, then walked a round to do a lil window shopping. Nothing much to see or shop at Metro Point, and it's like so deserted, not much people around. We left at 1 pm, I fetched Glynn back home then went to picked bro up from school. Happy that I'm going out with them again on Thursday to Mid Valley. Definitely looking forward to it ~weeeee~

Overdose of everything

I had overdose of everything ranging from sleep, chocolates, fruits, TV, to online. I had almost 10 hours of sleep + 3 hours of afternoon nap, ate the whole bar of dark chocolate, two plates of different fruits, endless hours of tv-ing and uncountable time spent onlining. I start to wonder why there's is so much hour is one day, should reduce to 12 hours. The funny thing is that during SPM examinations, I secretly wished that there will be 30 hours a day so I can study more. And now, it's a totally different story. How good if I can jump to any day I want..*ALAKAZAMZAM* *WHOSSH* There, I'm on Wednesday already..*slap**slap* Day dreaming again..err..wait..i think is "evening dreaming". I started a new HK drama series, The Winter melon Story. It's very funny indeed, although there's some part which I don't get the jokes. Seriously, I need to brush up my Cantonese skills. I was hoping for subtitles either Malay or English but there's only Chinese one which is totally not helping for a banana like me. Then, had a long nap in the afternoon from 3 to 5 plus. I really think I'm a ^@^-to-be. I have decided not to accept the matriculation offer cuz first of all, its in KEDAH!! It's so far! Then , Glynn told me got bomoh one wor..later kena jinx ahahahaha. Secondly, Dad prefer me to do A Level rather than matrix. Thirdly and the most important one, there's NO INTERNET connection there. Can die wei, dahlah can only come back during semester break, can't go online some more. What's the different between that and jail?? Go there to study study study until insane. I bet I wouldn't be able to survive even for a week.Yup, so I'll definitely not going to Kedah. Oh yeah!! So, currently sit at home, wait for scholarship offer and most prob enrolling in private college to do the A Level. Just hope that the MOE will be kind enough to offer me JPA scholarship.~ May luck always be my side~*miss dear a lot*

Love,

Yayasan Sime Darby interview (2nd Level)

I went for Yayasan Sime Draby assessment today in Legend Hotel, opposite PWTC. As usual, got up early at 6 am, start travelling at 6.30 am in order to beat the traffic. Lucky can arrive earlier than expected. I was surprise to see some my newly known friends from the initial level were there like Wei Wen, William (Sarawak guy), Jun Yit, Aina. There's a total of 8 of us for today session, which was the last of the 4 days sessions which started on Monday. A total of 32 candidates make it to the 2nd round out of 90 candidates from the initial level. Frankly to say, I'm very surprise to get into this round as I felt that I did not very well in the initial round especially in the online assessment. If I would rate the initial on a 1 to 10 scale, I would gave it 5/10. But for this 2nd round, Omgosh! That's what i call insane, 9.5 out of 10. Its very hard and challenging. We had three presentation task today.

The 1st one was individual presentation. Each candidate was given a file full of ETS information and portfolios including their sales turnover for each department and customer surveys. The whole information was about more than 10 pages. And you want to know what's the most exciting thing, each of us only given 30 minutes to prepare our presentation which includes what's the most significant findings from all those charts and survey, what actions in long and short term can be taken to improve the company's profile, and give a time plan to implement all those actions. We were seriously shocked by the task as we have no what so ever idea bout ETS (Evolution Technology System) and we have to absorb as much infos into our pathetic little brain in 30 minutes and at the same time think for solutions and WROTE all the points on pieces of mahjong papers. Just to fill your curiosity, ETS is a leading software company who develops software for business company and helps its clients to manage their IT system. I didn't have the time to go through all the information in details, so just went through briefly, and gave it one shot try for the presentation. All the assessors are the heads of each core business for Sime Darby. I was assessed by a Malay guy. He listened to my presentation then shot me with some questions which some I have never heard before. Lk he asked me about the name of the delivery system which was introduced in Japan recently. =.=''!! It's actually called JIT system (Just In Time System). Anyway, I seriously don't know bout the system so I just told him that I never heard that before and will take note of it in my future.

After my 1st task, i had my group discussion with the rest of the candidates and together with all the assessors in a small hotel room. The discussion also revolve about ETS. The given situation was that ETS which originally based in Penang wanted to relocate its Business and Marketing Unit to a new place as the original site was too crowded. We were suppose to discuss and find out which is the best place to relocate this unit with the given information like the cost to retrain the staffs, new accommodation and office sites, and business travel cost. So based on all the given information (figures again), we have to choose between Cyberjaya, Kulim or Ipoh. We ended up like a debate event with everyone tried to point out their reasons to choose and not to choose a particular area. The 2ND task was about 30 minutes which I felt like 30 hours, lk no ending to all those debates.

So, right after that, we had the 3rd and last presentation, a role play. Each candidate was given another study case we had to play a certain role. I was asked to play the role of a Product Service Consultant of ETS, Ahmad Roslan. And my client name was Mr. Micheal Lim from Aspren Tree Futures. My situation was that the client had a few concerns and issues after purchasing my company's product, AsiaTrade bond software and he wanted to know more about user training programme. Like the previous two presentations, we were given a folder which contain all the information about Asia Bond Trade software, Us Trading software and information about user training programme. Within 15 minutes, we had to read and understand about the products and services of ETS and find solutions for the client's issues. And the assessor won't let us pass so easily without giving us a hard time to persuade them about the prices. It's all about our ability to negotiate and talk to a client and gain their trust. Oh well, I just tried my best to deal with the assessors never ending demand and not to loose my patience..hahaha..

That's all for the assessments. You will never be able to imagine how stress all this was unless you were in my shoes. Without any knowledge in the finance and business world, I felt hopeless going through all those presentation. My presentations were 10% made up of logical answers and 90% of crapping. Haiz..Finished everything at about 11.30 am, waited Dad at the lobby. While waiting, chatted with Kai Ren, he's from Johore who was currently studying in Singapore. Pity him, he had to take bus all the way back to Singapore today. After that, I called Ian up, I felt so relieved to hear his voice. Talked to Ian for a little while then Dad arrived. Went for brunch in Kl, then went back straight home. Oh well, that's all for my day. New experiences with new friends, quite interesting. I even got to brush up my skill in debating and all thanks to dear and jie who supported me through out this whole interview thing. Love both of you! Lots of hugs and kisses for you two! Oh my, couldn't wait for the upcoming Wednesday. KLCC here i come!

I promise you..(!warning: do not read if you have a weak heart)

To my special one,

I promise you that our heart will stay close forever no matter how far we are

I promise you that I'll keep your heart forever and you have to guard mine

I promise you that I'll stay strong without you by my side

I promise you that I'll take care of myself properly and won't make you worry

I promise you that you'll be "promoted" when you are ready

I promise you that I'll hold on to all the above promises and other promises I have made as long as I live

Lol..the 5th one sounds silly..only you'll understand it..haha..sorry for my today's immature reaction. I know I'm suppose to be happy for you. I don't know why I reacted in such way when you told me that. Maybe I'm overly emotional..or maybe I just fear to loose you. When I thought back, I felt so silly for being such a child. I should have handle it better, in a more adult way. I should have known it will happen sooner or later. Anyway, I'll treasure every moment we will be together now and hope for the best for our future. Got to go find chocolate gor gor now..really need it. Hahaha..adios!

p/s: I had great moment with you today (minus the emo part). Thanks for the wonderful memories. I love you :)

Happy Birthday Dad!

My dearest dad is turning 49 in less than 15 mins..

Happy Birthday Dad!

*Muackss*

Today, we had a dinner celebration for my dad in Milwaukee, a western restaurant located in Balakong. It was our first time there and it gave a pretty good impression. And guess what, my dear Ian came along with us too. Mom and Dad invited him to join with us, and he's proud to be part of the history making in Chen's family..hehe..This is because this is the 1st time we had a *not yet, soon-to-be* family member to celebrate an important event together with us. I'm really happy that Ian and my parents got along extremely well. They had many topics to talk about. I'm sooooooo proud of you my dear! Another reason to be happy is that we finally got to talk and SEE each other after 40 plus hours din't speak or hear from either. Nope, we were not fighting or having cold war. You see, we had this silly idea to test how long we can survive without contacting each other. We we had a deal that we were not suppose to chat or msg eachh other since yesteday until just now evening and find out how much we'll miss each other. And i can say this is a very idiotic idea cuz when we purposely not contact each other, we made ourselves miss the other person even more. That was such a crazy move..we swore that we'll never repeat that ever again. Ok..back to the dinner. So, we had a very great dinner, the food was very nice and the environment was great! They even have a live band, unfortunately the sound system was a bit loud which made us practically havta shout to each other in order to talk. Then, we came back around 9 something as Jie was waiting for us to online and sang birthday song to my dad. Lucky this time, emotion was under control and every thing was just as planned. I noticed that Dad had a beaming smile on his face during that moment. I hope i can make him happy lk this every other day. Me and Ian bought a pandan layered cake for dad as I know that he prefer this rather than chocolate cake. Glad that everyone love the cake. After we had our cake, i fetched Ian back home. We had our sweet lil time before sending him back. Chatted a lil while, and something happened that I rather not mentioned it here. But i did have a great time with him. All this talking makes me understand him even more and love him ever deeply. We sorta settle out something between us and I hope Ian will remember what I told him tonight. When I reached home, I gave dad his birthday present, a homemade photo frame. Proud that he's absolutely happy with the present. Oh well, it's already past midnight so Happy Birthday again to my dad!

Time can't be gifted, but it can be shared

I stayed up until middle of the night yesterday to finish up reading "The Gift" by Cecilia Ahern. Not that i wanna to prove how much I can read but it just that the story line kept on making me to continue reading it. I was very curious to find out the ending of the story which I did managed to finish up by 3 am. You know what, I adore Cecilia Ahern, all her novels are incredible *worship her*. It's not just about romance, its about love not only "boy-girl" relationship, it also revolved love for your family, friends and to the people surrounding you. And you might not know, any person around you might be an angel sent by God to make things better, to correct what is wrong, to change your perception and view about things you might not realise before this. "The Gift" is really a Christmas story, all about spreading the love to other people, especially to our family and dearest ones. What I can say is that its the most meaningful story Cecilia Ahern ever wrote among all her novels. They never failed to make my tear ducts work every time i reached the ending. First was P/s I Love You, then If You Could See Me Now, and now The Gift. Cousin bro promised to get me Thanks For The Memories when he go to MV soon. With that, my collection of Cecilia Ahern novels would be complete. and I'm hereby to say I that I'm really proud my them. Today, I started to read New Moon. You see, my mood is like the sky today, moody and cloudy the whole day. I don't even feel like moving around and there's even nothing for me to do after came back from breakfast at Sri Petaling. Tried to find anyone to chat on msn but seems like most of them had their weekends planned out already except me. Didn't intend to bother jie cuz i know she is studying for her important exam on Monday.So, I just laid back and read New Moon until dinner time. And I'm surprised how much I had read in within 6 hours. I almost made it through half of the book already. Though I already knew the ending of all the story, but still it's very fascinating, the story between Edward and Bella and how they overcome all the obstacles for being together ( one being a vampire and another person is a human). I'm too waiting for the whole collection of this story, geee..can't wait for it. I'll continue reading my novel for now while waiting for Ian to sign in. Anyway, before I chao, let me ask you this simple question,

If you could wish for one gift this Christmas, what would it be?

Though this question sounds awkward at this moment and Christmas is months away from now, give it a thought, maybe you could have an early Christmas wish. Who knows Santa might be kind to you..

P.S~ Jie, last night I dreamt that you came back to M'sia and we went for shopping together and we had a blast..lol..really hope time will fly and comes to June faster..

P.P.S~ Ian, maybe you are true bout a person's scent. No one can imitate it. Anyway, I'll try to get you a bottle of what I'm using now. Maybe Guardian didn't sell the exact same one.

Love,
yin

~Looking forward for the next 100 days~

WOW!

WOW!

WOW!

Okay..chill people, I'm not turning into a dog yet..just... Waoh! Couldn't believe it have been the 100th day since we hooked up..oh yeah! Love it babeh! Yesterday, 8th April 2009 was me and Ian's 100th day aniversary.

Super Waoh!

Maybe for some of you out there, it seems lk pretty meaningless, but to me its freakin' importamt..gosh! Its so fast! There's so much happened between these 100 days, included sad and happy times together. But I can proudly say that we have more happy times than sad times. Its like the best 100 days I ever been through. And my bf is capable of giving me a real surprise. Look below:

He made a card for me! omg!

To mark this historical (to me) day, we went for a swim at Mewah Club. Ian came to my hse bout 3 pm, did some Mr. Ng's lil project together, then went out at 5 plus. Okay..there's some tiny weeny distraction before we can jump in and swim but anyway no point to blog that, so I'll just skip that corrupted part. So, we swam around, and talked while looking at the sunset. I never notice the sun was so beautiful when it's setting down. Ian was holding me together during that moment. I love that moment so much.....okay..*ahem* ya so we swam until 7.30 pm. Then had a quick shower until 8. We had our dinner at 21st Century Cafe at the club. It's my dinner with him, as in two person together only. The scenery was spectacular from the cafe the sky were quite clear, and we even managed to see Twins Tower from there. I ordered Mushroom Chicken while Ian selected Black Pepper Chicken Chop. We had garlic bread and wild mushroom soup as our starter. Managed to finished up all the food cuz we were super hungry after all the swimming.

Had our *sweet lil moment* together after that. We were admiring the view of kjg from the club and its wonderful..I listened to his heart beat extremely fast..lol..we talked for a moment. Havta leave bout 9. 30 cuz needed to fetch him back and promised my parents that I'll reach home before 10 pm which I did managed to arrive on dot.

My dear, thanks for everything. You made my life so much more beautiful.

Love you always!

Focus on the food..not me. I proudly say that i stole this pic from his blog :p
