Waterfront

It’s been awhile since I last went to Waterfront. The last time was with KiKi & Jaron, a night stroll.

I’ve been there today, it was a spur of the moment decision. grabbed a drink from 7-eleven and leisurely walked along the riverbank under the shade of the overlooking trees.

Surprisingly, it was very relaxing, with the breeze blowing upon my face. Usually, I would hate walking on my own, the loneliness would engulf me, making me emo and tensed. Today was just nice. =)

Sat cross-legged at the lookout point extended above the river. Nice view. The flowing river and Mount Serapi in the distance was a soothing sight despite the yellowish river with an occasional floating garbage passing by…hahaha….

I even managed to read the 20 page reading material that I need to present with my group, its easier to understand the whole thing when reading it here. Maybe its due to the peaceful morning, less people walking around. Most of the passerby are tourist or middle/older aged people. Those that usually hang out here are no where to be found.

Watching people/life go by is a hobby of mine. I like to observe and watch what others are doing. Seeing elderly people relaxing and talking to each other. Happy tourists/family taking photos of each other. Life is slow over here, sometimes its a good thing, sometimes its not. If you get what I mean.

 

That’s all for now~

Goodnight.

Shopping Madness

Happened when I just clocked in for work at noon.

Saw a mother with her daughter looking at the display at our shop when I just finished changing into my uniform.

Not long after that, both of them came in, the daughter was still a little kid.

The following happened:

*translated to English
Cynthia(my colleague):  Eh, there's a little boy outside our shop. He's been walking back and forth a few times. He looks like he's lost.

*Sze and I looked at the boy*

yeap..he's lost...crying...anxious and worried look...

I went out and called after him...

Me: didi(little boy), are you looking for your mother?

*little boy still crying, nods his head and frantically looking around*

Me: Come, I'll help you look for your mother.

*brought him nearer to the window display and asked him whether the woman with her daughter inside the shop is her mother, little boy shakes his head*

Me: Come, I'll bring you to the customer service counter to help you locate your mother.

*little boy holding tight to his bag of discs and followed me while I keep my hand on his shoulder and back, crying and looking around with the lost expression*

When we were near the escalator, someone called out to us, little boy recognized the voice and turned around. Saw his mother and immediately ran towards her.

Turns out, the mother in the shop was his mother, just that when he panicked, he lost the ability to judge or see clearly.

Since I worked here last month, I've heard numerous announcement looking for lost child or lost child looking for parents. In fact, there's another announcement looking for someone just now.

Its really irresponsible of them to shop until they forgot their children. Young kids really do lack the ability to recognize the surroundings and lack the ability to really take care of themselves.

What if, I'm someone with bad intention, just using the excuse of helping that kid look for his mother, where would that kid end up now?

Remember your responsibilities.

Eco Box

Skip the post on Sunway for awhile…

Seen this box awhile ago when my mum bought apple pies from Gingerbread House.

I like it…environmental friendly with coupons/vouchers on it.

hehehe…dun complain bout the pic…lazy to do further setup and edits…flashed from up, bounced by ceiling and the cards…

Got the box above from Ferns at tHe Spring’s food court…

Ordered Beef Burger Value Meal (RM7) for dinner, inclusive of fries and drink. Not bad de price, chicken rice alone already cost RM4.80, Beef Noodle cost RM5.50. Meals are expensive when you add them up. Half of my salary is spent on food =_=”…how to save money…

ok la…hope to see more ppl using this kind of box instead of the typical polystyrene box. At least this box is bio-degradable, although I personally think the ink will still do damage…

They should also produce paper bags to replace plastic bags eh….

*I tried opening their page but to no avail, might be down when I tried.

 

Wheee~~~ Discount Coupons~~~~~

 

ok la…

that’s all for now…

One World Hotel

Hehehe…wanted to do a review on the hotels I stayed in during Chinese New Year…but I kept on forgetting or feel lazy…

so here goes……

One World Hotel is located right beside One Utama which is in the heart of Petaling Jaya(is PJ still in Kuala Lumpur? or count as Selangor? hahahaha....I'm East Malaysian...I'm unclear of West Malaysia as much as they're unclear of us.).

A few nearby places to go( places as in shopping) includes IKEA, The Curve and another which I forgot the name.

The shopping environment at One Utama isn’t to my liking, kinda messy for my taste but overall, can find quite a number of brands there.

The hotel was great, one of the better ones that I’ve stayed in.

The hotel was kinda empty when we arrived for check-in despite being the the festive season. Maybe its the price, RM300+ per night for a normal room, kinda pricey.

The staff was friendly, which is important, receptionist was helpful and cheerful.

We arrived early and they allowed us to to check-in earlier than the standard check-in time but the non-smoking room we requested for was not yet available at that time so they allocated a smoking room for us and told us we could change if the smell is uncomfortable(which we did changed, bellboy did all the work moving things around).

Now, to the room….too much word already XD

Soft and fluffy beds. They even provide two extra pillow in their wardrobe!


Items from their wardrobe, they provide the basic amenities such as safe box, iron, hair dryer, bath robe and what-do-you-call-those? slippers?

Their hair dryer even have the option of healthy or normal for you to choose from, its a button which you can change. Healthy hair dryer….the healthy one just feel cooler compared to the normal setting, not bad also.

They also provide a well stocked mini bar and other snacks and coffee and tea. Do you see something different from the snacks that are provided here compared to some other hotels?

see it?

THIS! hahahahahahaha….for emergency cases! quite expensive, RM20+
Another thing to note, their rooms are kinda computerised. Like this:

The tv actually serves as a screen for their system, they have in-house music and movies apart from the free channels which you can buy using the remote or keyboard they provide, quite a list available. Room service and other services are also accessed through that console using the remote or keyboard. Internet provided by a fee, forgot how much, around RM20+ for 24 hours.

Moving on to their bathroom…

I like their shower space. The water pressure was strong plus the shower head was above, nice nice!

They even provide another shower head at a lower level in case you wanna use a movable type.

The shower gels, shampoo and conditioner they provided smelt nice, I like the smell, a little bit like chocolate. Sweet and nice.

Aha! Something useful for the ladies. Concave mirror that magnifies. Helps you look at your face better while applying makeup or do other stuffs.

Their toilet, look and interpret for yourself. XD

Didn’t use their bathtub, I don’t really like bathtubs. Watch too much horror films.

I didn’t dine in their hotel’s restaurant during my stay there cause there are other food outlets available in One Utama.

Ya…almost forgot, their lift is controlled by the room key card, privacy control.

Overall, the hotel is on the pricey side for me but staying in one that’s comfortable once in a while is fun. Nothing much for me to complain.

That’s all for now.
Next review will be on Sunway Pyramid Tower Hotel.
Till then…

Juggling Time

I’ve started working as a part-timer since last week and my classes just started this week.

Doing both at the same time, with only some free time left.

Was given a ‘job’ from SJA.

In conclusion, fitting three time consuming matters into my daily life.

Work for the money and experience. Plus, there’s too much free time if I don’t work.

Apart from that, I’m also trying to see how much stress I can handle and a few other reasons :p

Hehehehe…I’ve neglected my blog for quite some time…keep on saying I’ll do an update on something but I never did do it.

Like that lo…….

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sorry & Rest In Peace

Its been two days since you left……

Your last journey was yesterday……

Sorry that I did not accompany you on your last journey……

I’ve been busy making myself busy…….

Deep down inside….it’s the fear and disbelieve that prevented me from going……

I was afraid of seeing you one last time…..

I felt like crying ever since han told me the news and I couldn’t stop looking at your profile…but the feeling just never fully sunk in……until now….making myself busy did help…..going out and stuff….when I’m free like now….the feeling is hard to wave away….

Seeing and hearing ppl that you know leave us every year…..is really sad….the older you get….the more ppl you know leave you?

What’s gone is gone….

Your smile and cheerful personality will always be remembered…it is the strongest memory that I have of you…

May you rest in peace………..

To everyone out there….

Life still have to go on…he will forever live in our memories…we have to accept it and move on…wipe our tears and let our smiles represent his smiles =)

Life is fragile…please be careful out there…there are lots of ppl out there that care bout us…

Live well everyone! =)

Hello…

Been away for quite some time…

The main reason I don’t write as much is cause of laziness and the lack of enthusiasm. Not much interesting thing to write about i guess? Or most of the stuff I’ve been thru are mostly private.

I’m writing this in my hotel room…

1.07am 14 February

1st day of CNY. HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

the reason I’m writing…

its not bout my vacation…

its bout people…

Yeap…people…was so unlucky to be seated in front of a bunch of childish 30-ish people. The plane is not owned by you. We can hear you even if you lower down your voice, what to say speaking at such a loud tone. Won’t even listen to advice of lowering your voice. Everyone on the plane can hear you. ATTENTION SEEKING BASTARDS. Can’t even sit still. Keep on moving. Keep on kicking my seat. KEEP ON FLIRTING WITH THE AIR STEWADESS and the air stewardess even accepted his flirt? WTF Show some professionalism la. You’re working. =_=” WTF GUY and some other stuff which was annoying and WTF. Really WTF!

And…the perception of Sarawak in the eyes of West Malaysians. (This again? haiz…i know i know…its funny at first but it gets annoying as time goes on) in short…We are not that under-developed. Ignorance…but are they really that dumb? Part of me thinks that they just think its funny…they wanna make fun of us East Malaysians? So called One Malaysia…when they don’t even know or respect the other half of Malaysians? I believe people from Sabah and Labuan share the same fate as us.

That’s all for now…

Bye =)

Contemplating

Time passes real fast...

I'm almost at the end of my summer semester...

I've not learnt much or done much for the current subject...

Maybe it's caused by my ego...its an IT class...

I go to class everyday and on the com to log in to Facebook and do some surfing...

all the way till class ends...

I feel pity for the lecturer as most or should I say everyone is doing the same...doing their own stuff...at least i saw some that still did their tutorials or listened while doing their own stuff...

The subject length is short...3 weeks....try cramping 4 months into 3 weeks...

It should have been very busy...it actually is...

four hours of class everyday...

one new lecture every day...

3 presentations and 1 assignment due next week...

it was 3 presentations but the lecturer decided to merge 2 into 1...so...we're left with 2 presentations...

OK...back to contemplating....

Its 2010 now...

I'm getting older...turning 20 this year...

Saw lots of post regarding recaps of 2009...

My 2009...was nothing of glory...I don't think I'll remember much of 2009 when I'm old....except those few memories...

The post about life...

yea...who or what do we actually live for...

The process of finding my way...my meaning to life...is still going on...without progress...that's what I feel...

Wealth...I get it...its not always about money...its how you perceive it...

but the older you get, the more you see wealth as money...until you get to the old age when you don't see money as wealth that much anymore...

Why is it so? I assume it to be burdens and obligations...the different stages of life...

You need more money as you grow...

I'm worried bout that...bout I might not be able to earn enough to support anyone...wasting all these years in sch, college, uni...

Who doesn't want to be rich?

To be able to support your current family and your future family...

To be honest, I envy westerners. Some part of it...their individualism...their perceptions...

But I do prefer the Asian way...

We're living in a fast paced world...

Busy...I'm always busy...or so it seems...I feel busy...but sometimes, I don't know what I'm busy doing...

Tired...I wanna go slow....walk at a slower pace...I've missed out a lot while I'm running...

Its been a long time since I walked slowly...I mean physically and mentally...

Lately its been driving here and there in a rush....meeting time constraints...trying to fit something into a tight time slot...

Maybe that's the cause of my laziness and not concentrating in class...hahahaha

yeap...I wanna slow down...as long as it doesn't cost me something serious...opportunity cost...its always there...

yada yada yada....lots to say but not here or now...blog is not the place...some or most of you know why...you've experienced it before...blog is a 38 zone...XD
