CNY- Reunion Dinner

For me, Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holiday. Thanks GOD that I had a week off for this CNY.

Before the CNY approached, I and my sis used to do a lot shopping. All the shopping complexes were decorated with red and the atmosphere was just pandemonium.


I wrapped the hamper myself.; not bad though, first time DIY.

I used the small plastic bags (those plastic bags which used to cover the chinese mandarin oranges) to deco the plant. The plant itself called "money tree" which planting by my mama.

The moment i reached home from KL, my grandma had already ordered me to deco the house compound.

During this CNY, I had my fingernails "implanted" coz I never keep long fingernails. To have nice and long fingernails, I had been waited in Mike’s Saloon for more than 5 hours to get my fingernails done. The canvases on my fingernails were hand drawing. As such, time is needed to pain those flowers on the fingernails.

My cousin- Jiann Wen is shooting the pic of my hand during the dinner. my hand looked miserable without applied the hand lotion :p

This year, since my mum just recovered from dengue fever; my family did not prepare the reunion dinner as usual. We had the reunion dinner in the restaurant nearby.

Wishing you all the very best in the year of ox! Cheers!

Remedy for Dengue Fever

As most of you may realized, the dengue fever spreads in the nation is getting worse. There are a lot of precautions have been taken by the government to prevent the worse dengue outbreak.

However, there is no specific treatment to cure immediately or shorten the course of dengue fever. Paracetamol is normally given to the dengue fever patient to relieve the muscle and joint acnes.

The symptoms of dengue fever are:
1. Fever
2. Chill
3. Enlarged lymph nodes
4. Pain in the eyes
5. Nausea
6. Vomit
7. Loss of appetite
8. Low blood pressure
9. Fatigue
10. Deep muscle and joints pain

The above mentioned signs and symptoms are more or less the same as per Chikugunya which also cause by mosquitoes. To diagnosis, it is advisable to check with the doctor and have a blood text.

I would like to share with you all about the dengue fever remedies. Both of my mother and aunty had just recovered from dengue fever. Right after my mother had diagnosis dengue fever; my father called home and asked my mother to prepare :

1. two frogs (of course those eatable frogs)
2. bitter cucumber

Just clean and boil the above ingredients and drink it. It is work and the platelet count of the patient may jump instantly after consumed the drink.

However, due to worse dengue fever outbreak, it is difficult to get frogs. While my mother unable to boil the bitter cucumber drink with the frog. I recalled that I have read a forward email about the amazing papaya leaves. I taught my mother how to prepare it and right after my mother consumed it, thanks GOD that her platelet count jumped up the following day.

It is easy and simple to prepare the papaya Juice:

1. Firstly, find two pieces of raw papaya leaves and clean it.
2. Secondly, pound and squeeze the papaya leaves with a clean filter cloth.
3. A tablespoon per leaf.
4. Two leafs (two tablespoons) a day.
5. Do not boil or cook with hot water.

The above remedies are bitter but it is amazing and working. Since the dengue fever is rampant now, it is good to share this to all of you. Do spread these natural remedies to your friends and your loved ones.

Last but not least, the efficient way to prevent dengue fever is to clean the house compound frequently to avoid the new born of the infected mosquitoes.

Welcome 2009!

Apparently, my first topic for the New Year- 2009. Last year, i did come out a lot of New Year's resolutions and it ain't go well. Okay, since it's still "new" year, i gotta come out my 2009 New Year resolutions...

1. Increase personal's wealth (target is up to xxx amount)
2. At least two sports a week (jogging, badminton, tennis...)
3. Free from doctor and away from medi (no more tonsilitis, cough..., more healthier. However, i am now yet to recover from cough...)
4. Cut down the unnessary cost (perhaps, shoes?)
5. more loves and cares for my family ( I always do, but still have space for improvement)
6. Control my emotion- rarely happen (for those who i hurt regardless of dreadful words, please accept my sincere apology; it might a sudden outburst)
7. Work smart
8. Travel to...Egypt? Gotta be realistic...visit China, Korea or Australia by end of this year.
9. Read more (my papa said i am a bookworm; but still have to read more, more and more).
10. Finally...be happy!

Emm...It's time to take out the new calender and the new organizer for 2009.
Obviously, my calender and organizer are from ExxonMobil. I like the organizer very much, the design is much better than the previous years. There are altogether 12 paintings pasted on hardpapers as a divider for each month and each of the painting has implication stated at the bottom. It's really cool.

Whereas, the calender is from EM Hong Kong. The design is excatly the same as per last year.

My new hairstyle for the new year? Definately nope, I got my hair rebond coz i prefer my hair straight rather than curl.

The upper part sharing about New Year. Here we go, the bottom part about the X'mas.

Rahman who's pretending to swallow a christmas ornament. Without a christmas tree, Christmas would be imcompleted.

Here my gift for the gift exhange event. Guess What??? My GM was the one who received the gift. Hohoho!!!

The adorable Christmas gift is specially for Beryl.

Here my gift...number 29.

And...my most wanted Christmas gift- Twilight Saga (a gift which i bought for myself for this Christmas).

The 1st and 2nd of the series are came in a bundle. Specially thanks to Xavier who put his effort to fetch Edward to me. Thanks to Jane who informed Xavier that i was looking for the books.

And, i got all books during Christmas's eve. Hohoho, thanks MPH answered my call and no doubt, i had a great Chritmas with Edward, Bella, Carlislie, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosaline and etc by my side.

Goodbye 2008!

Time passing very quick. Another 45 minutes, i gotta waive my hand and say goodbye to year 2008 and welcome year 2009.

Another new year, it means i am a year older. I am sitting in front of my new notebook; listening to oldish songs while blogging and wondering why times passed so quickly that until i din even notice.

Remember those times, during my teenager period; i was crazy for Backstreet Boy; i bought most of the albums (of course those time, we normally listened to cassette), pasted the BSB's big poster on the wall behind my bed, watched Billboard Chart every Friday, listened to hitz.FM top 10 every nights, learnt to sing the hitz songs...

While i was in university, of course;I no longer crash for boy band but i was attracted by those talented singers and actors. Taufik Batisah (the first Singapore's Idol) was then became my idol. He is the most versatile singer i have ever seen. He can sings well regardless of jazz, rock, vocal, R&B and etc.

Okay, enough for the craps. Well, Yamuna asked me what my new year resolution is during lunch hour today. And then, i suddenly recalled that, the same thing Sook Wai asked me during last year' New Year's eve and i replied Sook Wai that my new year's resoluation was to file all the documents on daily basis so that i would not panic during report time. Apparently, the mission was failed miserably.

For year 2008, My biggest lost was i had lost both of my maternal's grandparents who had now join the GOD in peace.
Whereas, if you ask me, what's my biggest achievement for year 2008? Perhaps, It would be -I bought a unit (an apartment) with my sister by using our own money. (It's aint not bad,though; i guess).

For year 2009, I wish all of you...

Great start for Jan,
Love for Feb,
Peace for march,
No worries for April
Fun for May,
Joy for June to Nov,
Happiness for Dec,
Have a lucky and wonderful 2009.


Happy New Year!!! Wishing you all the best!!! Cheers!!!

Special Christmas gifts

Christmas is approaching soon. Most of the people are busy to purchase gift for their's loved one, for exchange gift event and etc.

While I was wrapping the christmas gift on Monday and thinking what would I get for the Christmas Exchange Gift Event in my department this coming Friday. A gift was delivered to me in receptionist's desk the following day.

I was kinda surprised. The gift was a small box (like a medical box) which full of "Nougat" with different favours and there was a little teddy bear lying beneath it. Besides that, it stated there:

"Sally's Stress Survival Pack"

* Open the box when things get really tough.
* warning: Not to be used overdose, it may caused obesity.

Cool, isn't it? There are some small cute pictures printed on the papers which symbolised that under what circumstances I may need to consume the "Nougat".

And, it most probably comes to me in a suitable time coz today I have a tough day in the office, I feel like swallow all the Nougats into my stomach...but it may caused obesity so...i just took one, hopefully it's medicinal.


Taddddaaaa...here the lovely gift. To be frank, I love it so much, it melts my heart and my heart is filled with sweets.

Ohh, my father left a book on my table surreptitiously on Monday. The title of the book is "The World according to Dad". I am yet to read it. Perhaps, my father is the Santa Claus who delivered the christmas gift to me and my sis earlier.

Wishing you all have a wonderful Christmas!

Falling in love with the Vampire

All this while, I am fascinating toward vampires due to they are immortal, they drink blood to survive, they are strong and they cannot expose to the sunlight. But, what makes them attractive is, vampires are handsome and pretty.

Back in 1994, the famous movie of the year -“Interview with the vampire”. After I watched the movie, I felt sympathy for a life of being as a vampire. Due to theirs’ immortality life, they are walking in the earth from year to years, from century to centuries. Adaptive is the only way to survive. They need to adapt the change of the world from sucking a human being’s blood to drink the animal’s blood. They cannot simply hunt for human in the street because if they do so, it’s considering a crime in this century.

Recently, there is a hot movie showing in the cinema- Twilight. It is from a vampire-romance novel written by Stephanie Meyer. In Twilight Series, there are altogether 4 books- Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Twilight series won the best selling novel before and the 3rd book- Eclipse, it sold 150,000 copies in 24 hours during its 1st day published in the market and the Twilight books sold 25 million world wide.

Twilight, it is about a young and pretty high school gal- Isabella; Bella who falls in love with a vampire- Edward Cullen. The story began when Bella who just moved from Sunny Phoenix Arizona to rainy Forks, Washington. During they first meet in the class, Edward unable to resist his lust of young Bella's blood. Even though, Edward and his family are oppose to human blood and only drink animal's blood. Overtime, they fall in love. The story is about the relationship of Bella who her lover- Edward is a vampire and how Edward needs to protect Bella from being killed and the relationship of Bella and the entire Cullen's (vampire) family. Good books to read and it worth for collection.

Twilight- the cover is an apple which symbolize that the love between Bella and Edward is forbidden.


New Moon- the cover of New Moon is a red and white ruffled tulip.

Eclipse- the cover is a broken ribbon which indicates Bella needs to choose between her love with Edward Cullen and her friendship with werewolf- Jacob.

Breaking Dawn- The cover is a chess, may indicate the new life of Bella of being a vampire.

Robert Pattinson who plays the role as Edward Cullen in Twilight is handsome, charming, geogous and he blows me away. He well-carried the role as Edward Cullen. If I were Bella, I would definately fall to Edward. But, in reality; i could not imagine to love a vampire and tranform myself to vampire. If a vampire stands in front of me, without hesitate, i will definately faint, not to mention to love or date a vampire. To love a vampire, a person needs to have courage like Bella. This is a very nice and romantic young- adult novel, those who seek for romance, this series will not let you down.

Note: Robert Pattinson is the one who played the role as Cedric Diggory In Harry Potter and the Globet of Fire.

Diamonds are girls best friend!

Actually i have a lot of things to share and there are just many things i would like to blog. However, my going to 6 years old laptop is currently malfunctioned and it has sent to the workshop.

Before year 2008 kicks to end; no choice, i have to steal a little time from my working hours to blog. Shhh...

Ok, enough for the craps. Judging my captioned title; you know what am i going to share next. How true it can be?

There is a scene in Moulin Rouge when Nicole Kidman who played a role as the star of Moulin Rouge- Satine; singing the song "Diamonds are girls best friend", this song perhaps well-represented the heart of those Can-Can dancers whom performed the dance in the Moulin Rouge. In Moulin Rouge, there is no "love". Whereas, it's a place of "money" and "power". Money certainly became the greatest element in which they persuade in life.

During a marriage of a young couple, when the bridegroom does not have sufficient money to buy a diamond ring for the bridge; the bridge will not blame the bridegroom but she gets her man to promise to buy her a diamond ring whenever the husband is affordable. In short, diamond is essential to sustain a marriage. How true it will be? Look, if the husband fails to buy a diamond as he had promised before; the wife will keep begging until she received one.

In this century, most of the girls trend to be more realistic and materialistic. This is because the diamond which belongs to her, she can keeps it the rest of her life until the day she leaves the world and joins the GOD in peace. The diamond will not simply transfers to others unless she is willing to do so. Whereas, men are easily attach by others or easily transfer from one woman to another.

As such, a smart woman learns how to keep the diamond instead to keep the man. I guess, this is why “Diamonds are girls best friend” because diamonds will not betray her own master.
