For starters, this year was the first time in my life that I was overseas for longer than 1 month, not only that i was alone. Well, not really alone, EVo was there as well. I meant alone, as in, the freedom to sleep  as long as i wanted to

responsibility of having to do our own laundry, sometimes cook our own lunch and having to shop for our own groceries. It was fun, definitely for the first 3 weeks it was a whole new experience for myself and EVo than the usual lifestyle for the past 24 years of my life =p erk coming to 25, demmit

.

.

.

.

.

It was also the first time my family and i made a trip to Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun. But too bad, we were never up early enough to watch the sunrise. What i got to see was

Clockwise from Top Left – Cannot-Make-It Harajuku Wannabe, Giant Ice Cream Man, Osaka Castle,

Chick with skirt and long hair by the street, Whale Shark and Chick with fur at Kaiyukan Aquarium

.

.

Got some more pics la, but i gotta slowly hunt for them. hehe

.

.

I had a brief intimate moment earlier this year, and compared to this moment with Joy, things are so damn different in definitely a much better way. I guess age and everything that comes with it does really matter =).

.

.

.

This is my new Facebook Profile Pic, n I’m not planning to change it for a long time<3

.

.

CHRISTMAS SO DAMN NICE LAH THE LIGHTS AND DECORATION. If any of u are planning to go out and enjoy the christmas spirit, I’d definitely recommend going to Pavilion or The Curve.

.

.

.

Inside

.

.

And Out

.

.

Over at The Curve, there’s this machine that shoots ‘snow’ at the Christmas tree deco in front of Laundry, so we wanted to go n check it out, but upon closer inspection of the ‘snow’, it was actually FOAM. YOH what were they thinking seriously?! u want to cover ppl with soap and foam for what? Unless of cos, the management would hope that they would soap each other or something. LOL

.

.

And so, if i come across any other places that has a nice Christmas setting, I’ll post up about it

.

.

.

Just will end this post with Shadow, my doggie which my family and I went up with to Awana yesterday to escape the heat cos we initially wanted to go for the Dog’s Fair at Central Park, 1 Utama. Then change of plan to have a slightly cooler breeze. ugh.

.

.

<3

.

.

Enjoy the remaining 4 Working Days of the week till end of the year !

.

.

Osaka is a damn nice city *jakun*. Being here for my first time, it was a culture shock a good experience to be exposed to the diverse culture, not to mention fashion style of the fellow Osaka-ians. If Tokyo was a much busier and hectic city compared to Osaka, i dare not think of how busy yet organized the Japs here would be. According to EVo, even the taxi windscreen is so damn clean, I think even the birds will feel ‘pai seh’ to drop their ‘bombs’ on the car.

.

.

.

This picture does the crowd no justice, i was switching lens so i didnt manage to capture it at the busiest *pai seh*

.

.

Fashion Statements, U dun only see this,

.

.

But also people like,

.

. .

and

.

Sorry this pic kinda blur, i was sipping my drink when i noticed this bright thing in front of me and when i looked up, i took this picture. By the time i snapped, it was blur bleh =\

.

.

Oh, i got myself the EF 50mm f1.4 lens before i came here, woah the bokeh-ness is damn kao, definitely recommend it over the f1.8 anytime.

.

.

L-R : Mum n Dad, Cheese + Egg Cake EVo, and myself

.

.

Ok *rewinds back to the main topic*

.

Was at this place called Namba earlier this evening,

.

.

.

It’s where u find large shopping malls like Takashimaya,

.

.

And other malls where u can buy misc stuff, small souvenirs, small cafes, restaurants, bars

.

and also

.

. .

HAHA..I…would be lying if i said i didn’t enter. This deserves a separate post..er, more info on that later *angelic face* Actually, u can get more info on EVo’s BLOG.

HO HO

.

.

.

Even the Japs are really sporting ppl. They asked me to snap them when they saw me carrying the camera.

Probably it was one of their marketing gimmicks to try sell whatever they were selling LOL

.

.

We also stopped by Starbucks for a drink before dinner. Ahh, it never fails to set in the Christmas spirit everytime i enter their door,

.

.

As i walked in and i was surveying the number of chicks scores of items they were selling for Christmas, they all looked so pretty but something really stood out and caught my attention=)

.

.

I saw..

.

.

Now, what would be on my wish-list for Christmas I wonder, I saw my answer almost instantly =)

.

.

.

I can’t wait to be able to hold u again, love =)

.

.

Updates on Osaka Castle coming up after our visit tmr =)

.

.

Meanwhile,

.

.

.

Yataahhh !

.

.

Nites ppl ! =)

.

Anyway, I’m currently in Japan, left KL early this morning 12 am(12 Nov), and reached Kansai Airport, Osaka at 7am, Local Time. I remember i was saying if i were to tell a Japanese ‘Oh hey guess what Kanasai means in Hokkien’ but considering how patriotic they were, I figured they would have slashed me with their katana or something. HAHA

.

.

Then again, they look so welcoming, dun think so right Oh, I took this picture because the kimono looked nice. Really wan.

. .

Anyway back to topic, I’m only going to be here for a week plus, not like the recent China trip,  More info from the trip can be found from EVo’s blog. Considering we were both there, kinda pointless i update also right? =p I also er..kinda forgot the details about the trip *ahem*shanghaiclub*ahem*

.

.

In fact, I was actually really glad to be back after the 2 long months and i was looking damn forward to come back because

.

.

.

No not because of Shadow, my Golden Retriever who can show whenever he’s angry, grumpy or happy.

.

.

.

.

But because there is just this special someone who has captured my heart and brought joy to my life, and whom i was missing badly and waiting patiently to see her again after this long while.

.

Because of how U

.

accept me for who i am, and what i am not,

care a lot about how I feel but not to the extent where it becomes controlling,

are reasonable, with hopes not expectations about how things should be,

make me laugh the first thing when i hear ur voice on the phone,

.

It’s just some simple things like these that add up to the picture that leads us to where we are now.

.

Thank you for being the person u are now. I must have done something really good to have met you  <3

.

Thank you for reminding me how joyful being with somebody can be.

.

.

.

.

So, this is to us, with a new step into our lives with the hopes for a bright and promising future for the both of us =)

.

.

P/S I didnt gain so much weight in China lah, it’s EVo’s new 10-22mm lens that makes me look so distorted O_o

.

.

More updates on Japan soon ! =)

This is not eG. To be more specific, it’s Joy here and this is the first time I am crashing his blog. I have had access to it for a while now, but never did anything simply because I didn’t know what or how or why I should even post anything here, considering I already have my own blog (which I try so hard to update at least once a week). Come to think of it, all I was doing was deleting spam comments and I guess that made me the blog’s cleaning lady O_o

But, here is the reason why today is different. For the first time, I had a bouquet of flowers set in my hand that was (almost) heavy enough to break it. Sent by none other than the guy who is currently in China, who may be so far away, yet he definitely made his presence felt in my house during my pre-graduation party last night.

I may not be one for flowers usually, but which girl can truly admit that getting a bouquet is not one of the cheesiest, yet, most heart warming gestures a guy can do for her? Especially when he is 3714.88 kilometers from where she is. (Yes, I calculated: Distance between Wuxi, China and Selangor, Malaysia)

So, to make it a pretty three, here’s another first. On top of being the first (female?) outsider *cough* to post here, and have a first time experience receiving my favourite flowers from an order placed in China (Oh, the wonders of the internet), this will be the first time I will attempt a partially password protected post.

I guess, sometimes some things just need to be private

Until next time (whenever that will be), cheers!

.

Yes according to EVo, there’s this site where i can update my FB, Twitter and Youtube but i just didnt like the idea of giving out my password out. U know la, i had a bad experience with giving my password out before *ahem my email account got deleted* so, once bitten twice shy. So, therefore, still no FB or watever. Some frens asked me to bypass something *i forgot*, but it seems the company line is running on a proxy and being a noob in all this, I have no idea how to do it. lol Bye FB and Twitter, looks like i won’t be needing ur services until Nov 5 T_T

.

.

So anyway, here’s a lil update of what I have been doing. By day job ,

Cheap Chinese Labour.

Wait, not even cheap, Im a free labour here lol. Nola, just kidding, Im getting free lunch, dinner and accomodation. hehe =)

.

.

During my free times, I would be online, online and online. And I’ve been practising my swing at the Driving Range nearby. Damn it’s addictive

Pic Credit to EVo

Practising my Jump Shots in Wuxi Downtown.

Yeah , ppl must be wondering where this Orang Utan came from. LOL

.

.

Last Saturday, I went for a Plant Visit at Rizhao Steel with some Indian dudes that came to visit our manufacturing facility. We then proceeded for 5 hour car ride to Rizhao in 2 Buicks. Yes, 2!

.

.

cos there were 7 of them plus 5 of us = =

.

.

.

Reached there at night to put up a night, then Plant tour the next day. So at night we went to the bowling centre in the hotel LOL. I tell u, it has gotta be the funniest time i ever played bowling cos..

.

.

I finally found out how Indians play bowling in India. Yes barefooted. HAHA Sorry Mr Mantri, u were good company xD

.

.

while i was

.

.

OOPS

.

.

.

.

.

It was a good trip nonetheless, Indians were happy, We had fun but despite that, I only wished that u could have been there too =)

.

.

Went for lunch the next day and we finally had a taste of tasty, unhealthy food

.

.

.

KFC !!!!!!!!!!! I promised I’ll only take fried stuff twice a week right?

.

.

Left Rizhao , around 5 pm for a 5 hour ride back to Wuxi. Snapped this on the way back cos i tot it looked kinda pretty

.

.

.

Okay time for dinner. Hope it’s not suikow for dinner again. HAHA Will update again soon about some work n stuff.

Bye !

.

.

Haih I miss u la, can’t wait to come back..hmm <3

.

.

So from the first day i landed at Hangzhou, the next day we took a train from Hangzhou –> Wuxi. Bloody hell, it was another 4 hour ride in the train. Not only it was packed, we couldn’t get a place to sit cos we bought the tickets late.

    2 pm train ride and we got the tickets at 1230..hoho champion xD.

.

.

Hangzhou Train Station

.

A Stall selling drinks and some mags. I took this picture cos i happened to notice the monk in yellow robes taking out money to buy stuff. Wah, and I thought monks were not supposed to carry money. China ma, monks also slightly different geh. Probably some dropout from the Shaolin Temple..keke

.

.

So then we had a little time before our ride at 2pm, so we had lunch at Mr Lee’s Ramen Stall.

.

.

Beef Ramen Noodle Soup + Pepsi = RMB 19. About 10 bucks for this set. Was quite reasonable as the portion was so much i had a little trouble at the end ..hehe

.

After that we proceeded into the counter to check into the train, but the queue was so long. O_O

.

See what i mean, and we were carrying 2 huge bags also. Aiyor, pening man. So obviously, these Chinese ppl here damn smart, they sure know how to make money. As many ppl commute by trains daily, with bags n all, they had this ‘preboarding fees of RMB 5 per person. So EVo and I were like. eh pay only la…just go in early and hang around. Ho ho, so in order to avoid the jam n all, we fell prey to the sneaky Chinese tactics.

.

So we had a little more time before the train took off at 2pm, so we hung around the station before boarding ..and…

.

.

.

Haih, I have no idea why my face was so constipated. Quite fail la this jump. Blame it on the jeans

.

L-R : Muka Tulan EVo, Muka Tulan eGo ….and…..Muka…Nyenyak EVo… HAHAHAHAH he gonna kill me for this

.

.

.

.

Some views from the train. =)

.

.

So after a 4 Hour painful butt ride to Wuxi, we finally reached.

.

The Station not so small la okay, it’s just part of it..HAHA

.

Went for Buffet Dinner after that At Amazon International Buffet Centre at Downtown Wuxi with David n Sibei after they picked us up. Sorry, no pics of the Restaurant cos that fella shoo-ed me off. Kanasai..Or…that was what i thought he said since my mandarin so fail. HAHA nvm, i shall go back another day.

.

L-R : Sibei  , David.

.

EVo, myself

.

.

So the next day, it was Day 1 of Training. But it was an in-house training for the first 3 days so we were a bit more relaxed and after work, we had time for….

.

.

.

.

POCKET-BIKING HO HO HO

.

.

Wah i memang quite hebat. Maybe one day i can try to audition for MotoGP. HAHA

.

Here’s EVo n David doing a failed wheelie. LOL okla give u credit for trying..Make sure i hide my camera away so u dun take my pokai pictures.. hahaa Btw, check out EVo’s muka hero

.

.

.

Look quite gaya right. Look at the next one. HAHA

.

.

He look like he gonna pangsai on the bike..bwahahahhaha Sorry David. hehe

.

Here’s a few pictures of the MANY dishes i’ve been having so far

.

.

.

.

.

And for today, it was Western Food at Taihu Hotel. Seems it used to be Chairman Mao’s Residence everytime he visited Wuxi. It’s was awesome, i mean considering u’re eating steaks in China, it’s supposed to suit the local taste right. Looks like the Wuxinese are appreciating the western style of preparation. mmm

.

EVo’s Dish – Beef Tenderloin with Goose Liver

.

Mine – Australian Rack of Lamb xD I love lamb mmm..

.

.

Disclaimer: Luxurious food will only be available to us on the first week in Wuxi. After that’, it’ll be nights of Instant Noodles for me. Nvm, I got plenty of flavours to choose from xD

.

.

A Shot taken outside the Hotel before dinner. L-R myself, David. EVo

.

.

.

So that’s about the 2nd day here in Wuxi. Training will resume tmr again at 9, so i gotta head to bed soon. Later my eyebags grow so big, i have to suck it out with the syringe no thanks bye. Joy’s gonna have so much ‘joy’ sucking the liquid in the bags. Using the syringe of course. *runs to a corner and hide*.

.

.

Well, I’m actually kinda enjoying myself here…for now LOL. The new environment, the new food, new experience, new life, new friends. Heck, I think I’m even gaining weight. Feels like a lot of things are changing. But no matter what, some things will never change, like:

.

How I’m wishing like hell that u were here to share my instant noodles, bread sticks, redoxon, strepsils ( i dun have much but we can share xD ), vanilla milk, mooncake and my sausage. I’m talking about pre-cooked sausages, pls thanks. dun get any wrong ideas..HAHA 60 degree working on full swing.

.

How we can just sit down and talk about anything at all. and I mean anything

.

How we can just laugh and crack silly lame jokes but laugh at it cos we’re probably just laughing at each other’s silly   faces. Okla, maybe mine, not urs..hehe

.

How we can just play cs and watch how u trash me ( the ‘Expert’ mode bots quite lousy la tho heh :p )

.

How I can just be with you, just doing nothing without feeling weird. mm

.

Hm I miss you much=) *hugsss*

.

.

.

Okay I’m not gonna continue here, I’m just looking forward to Nov 5 Stay tuned for more pics soon ppl !:D Thanks for dropping by !

I know it’s ‘haram’ to be up so early on a Sat morning, but u did it and u really made my day . So this post is *partially* dedicated to you, for waking up early, driving down to Bangsar, and finding ur way to my place so u could see me off for that 1 hour only.

So being the Malaysians we are, the event was supposed to ‘start’ at 7:30 so we rushed n reached there by 720. Woohoo ! Always feels great to be early. Anyway we collected our passes and THEN we were told that it actually starts at 830. Ticket collection begins at 730: WTH man. Ja lan dou. But then, might as well la, got time to chill and chat before the show started.

.

So EVo, Michelle and I decided to have a 3some at
