Memories, Light The Corner Of My Life...

Tonight is no Saturday Night Fever... it is a night of relaxation and "digging" out old folders in the computer to see what's memorable....

These photos which I thought they were missing were in a very secluded folder.... just by looking at them can bring smiles upon my face ... I couldn't help not putting them up here.. just for memory sake in case they get "lost" again....

2003 pictures!

Andy's 12 birthday?

MY TWO CUTIES!!

8 years ago, we look like this....

Thank God It Is Friday

TGIF.... yes, Friday is here again...

Thank God that this has been a refreshing and a relaxing week for me... in the office especially... the best time of the month is during this period where there are no target dates to meet and I don't have to work until "breathless!"

Funny, now that I am getting "not so young" anymore, whenever there is some urgency in work, I tend to be "breathless" even when I am sitting stationary in the office... why is that so?

Something is telling me to "slow down".... body engine is saying... "hey, you are not young anymore, don't work so hard... slow down, will ye?"

Yes, I will follow my body's instinct..... I will not exert nor indulge too deeply into my work anymore...

10.45pm... latest updates...

Sorry, I have taken down the youtube video clips which I have put up earlier..

Ok, better get myself prepared to watch the quarter finals in Astro 811 - 11pm.. Yonex Denmark Open 2011... Lee Chong Wei is playing first game against Chen Jin.. and the men doubles are playing against China no. 1 men doubles.. any chance of winning China??

Happy "25" Birthday Always!

No, it is not my "25th birthday" but my buddy, Elin... when I first knew her, she told me that she was only 25... and always 25... year in and year out... hahahaa......

So here's wishing her Happy 25 always!!

A birthday is not a birthday without the capital "F", right? Of course, Food is one thing and a present is another.... ok, let's talk about food... ... pressie? Later.. I.O.U.

Took her to St. Mike bistro for set lunch.... (I received sms from the boss that there is a promotion going on!) hahahaa....

A simple set lunch came with a main course,
a glass of lemon ice tea, a small bowl of onion soup
and a mini-size sweet-sweet dessert...

I ordered battered fish for myself..
RM16.90 for the whole course...

Elin ordered BBQ roast chicken..

and the dessert is this.... er...
cornflakes plus chocs...
just nice...not too big nor too small....

When it comes to birthday, who normally receives presents?
the birthday girl, right?

Well, wrong...
For the birthday girl gave me some pressies instead.. LOL...

a loaf of Pumpkin Cake...
aren't they "gorgeous?"

and not only that, I was given three of these to "wallop" too!!!

Isn't she great?? Well.. she is...
Once again...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELIN
YOU ARE ALWAYS 25 AT HEART!!

Conclusion - Riverfront Teluk Intan

My last episode on my one-day-trip to Teluk Intan will end in this post...

For lunch, we were taken to this shop....

Wang Kee Bah Kut Teh...
Tour guide told us that the locals here like to take BKT
with a dish of steamed fresh fish...

a table of 10 persons..
each of us paid RM12 ($4.00) for lunch...

Bak Kut Teh... meat with varieties..

steamed fish is a Must...
Fresh fish are abundant in Teluk Intan....

among the dishes, this was the best..
sweet, sour, spicy fish fillets...

this was not so good...
spicy sotong...

followed by a combination of these vege...

During the evening around 5pm, we were taken to the Riverfront Park....

the entrance...

some wanted to buy fresh prawns...
but all were sold off before they could buy...

as for me, I prefer to walk around...

and looked around... it was so quiet....

and serene...
so might as well enjoyed the riverfront scenic sky...

even the playground was quite empty....

well, that's the end of my Teluk Intan trip....
phewww..... tired already!

Universiti Teknologi Petronas Graduation Day Roundup...

I can still remember very clearly the very first day I drove Aaron to UTP... It was in 2004 when he received letter to go for the three days edu-camp and from there, he was shortlisted and accepted .... On that very morning, he was so excited that I had to stop half way by a coffeeshop for him to "release tension" in the loo.... LOL... We still laughed about it until today....

Well, that was more than five years ago..... time flies..... for the first few years, I used to drive to UTP to pick him up every or alternate weekend... the roads are so familiar to me that it was like "auto cruise" in my head already....

Then during his 3rd year onwards, he drove an old junk car ... and during his final year, he drove his Viva.... and on the 16th October 2011, he finally received his honours.... after 5 years of "biting fingers" in his studies.... (check his fingernails, they do not grow!) LOL....

Guess I will not be going into UTP anymore... hence more pictures for sweet memoirs....

behind me is the former PM's car...

family members waiting for the ceremony to end...

waiting anxiously....

guess what this is....

its their amazing library....
my girl was fascinated...

me with SIL...

Tay... he is very jovial!

Thank you Gabriel... for being with us...
Really appreciate you coming all the way....

Pity Andy.... waking up early but never get to sit....
but to wait for few hours walking here and there...

thank goodness your sister is around to "jerk" you up!

some pictures to behold...
and most importantly...

....Thank God for His blessings and Grace upon us....
