Regret

Many things happened to me in the past few days... My dad went coma and was hospitalized.

However everything is fine now. He is awake but still in the hospital.

I was in horrible shape for the past few days. I was supposed to fly back right away but I didn't. Till now I still can't forgive myself.

From these 2 days, I learned 1 thing, i.e. never ever do anything that you will regret later, to yourself or to anyone else. That is very important. There just may not be any second chance at all.

Kepo Mah in action...

Q: What was Jo busy doing tonight??
A: She was busy chairing a Zone Meeting for the clubs under her.

Here go the Zone Chairperson in action...

The attendees range from youngster, middle age to "Ah Pek" and "Ah Mu"...




Not bad, they were actually paying attention... hahaha...



Jo - answering questions from the "Ah Pek" and "Ah Mu" and giving advice on "How to improve club's membership growth and retention"... a serious topic.



A group photo with key officers from two of the clubs...



"Makan" and chit-chatting with members after the meeting...



Well, I'm quite impressed with my time management. The whole meeting finished in an hour, with all the clubs reporting on their status/account/activities, plus group discussion on membership growth.

Hohoho, this "kepo mah" is quite efficient.

Rynn 林宇中 "淋雨中" 簽唱會

I just came back from Rynn 林宇中簽唱會. He came back to Kuching (yes, he is from Kuching, now a super star in Asia) to promote his second album "In the Rain ... 淋雨中 ...".

The happy me before the mini concert started...

Bumped into that friend who gave my housemate the tickets...

It's show time, 45 mins late though...

This guy is not good looking but he can sing very well indeed.

Well, actually above were taken by my housemate Pig Pig. In fact, what I saw for the whole night was this...

Only when those two big heads moved apart, then I can see a bit of this (have to tip toe some more)...

Kinda disappointed with those two big heads blocking me the whole night, but then there was an autograph session afterward...


Hehe... here go his new album with his signature...

Well ahem... let me tilt it a bit and put the flash on... now you see...

Ho ho ho ho ho ho, bah ha ha ha ha...

p/s: It was drizzling on our way out... Pig Pig and I really ended up "In the Rain ... 淋雨中 ...".

McD Breakfast

Last week, I wrote about I missed my McD breakfast and was very down. I told my colleagues on Monday. Yesterday they ordered a delivery to the office... I went "WOWOWOWOWOW".

Then early this morning, Dom sms all the way from China to wake me up to have my McD breakfast, that was really sweet and cute. Thanks Dom!!

My housemate must be quite guilty about not waking me up to go for McD breakfast last week, so today she insisted to go for McD breakfast, even though I said I can go Yum Cha with her.

There, I had my 'Sausage McMuffin with Egg' breakfast for two consecutive days... :)

Thank you my friends!!! You guys are really cute lah!!!

Super Duper Mind Power

I just wrote in my previous blog “聽電台 MY FM 說林宇中八月底會回古晉開個唱, will try to get a ticket to go.”

Guess what, the second day someone gave my housemate 2 tickets to 林宇中 mini concert in Kuching on 26th August (i.e. tomorrow)… hehe, thanks to my mind power!!

When I told my housemate about it, she went like “Wow, that’s super powerful!!” cos’ I have told her before about few incidents, where my mind power seems to be getting more and more scary.

There she begged me to wish for Jacky Cheung to come and hold a concert in Kuching… Hey hey… that’s going a bit too far off lah.

That reminds me that I could start thinking about bumping into someone like my Kimura… hehe, so excited to just thinking about it. Or to quit my job and still be able to live a good life with $$$ keeps flowing into my account like water... Or to have a never aging look... hohohoho...bahahaha...

Pimpers

Pimpers are breaking out on my face these few days... am I stressed? I don't think so, just a bit bored with everything recently. Is it time to leave Kuching for a new place??? Or may be it's time for vacation. ... Anyway, I'll be going to K.L. and Macau next month. Then probably will go to Germany in October on business. Well, it's time to recharge myself.

屬於我一個人的一天

今天原本計畫早上起來去吃麥當勞早餐, 結果醒來一看已經是下午一點鐘, 心裡頓時很失望, 又很悶. 換好衣服, 看到housemate Pig Pig, 不知為何覺得很煩, 總之今天決定了不應酬任何人, 不遷就任何人口味, 只想靜靜的一個人找尋屬於我的個人空間. 誰, 我也不想理.

結果還是去了麥當勞, 打包午餐, 一路開車一路吃. 閒逛了一會兒, 決定去買想買的 DVD & CD. 找了很久找不到林宇中的專輯, 幾間店都說賣完了. 但是我找到了 曹格, S.H.E. 和 王力宏 的新牒. 還是沒找到梁洛施的 DVD - Isabella. 之前我已經跑遍了很多店都找不到. 今天其中一間店的年輕老闆告訴我已經幫我去訂了, 但是還沒貨. 原來, 他還記得…我只問過他一次, 是幾個星期前的事了… 嗯, 那就交給他辦吧!

在車上放了新 CD 來聽. 超喜歡 S.H.E. 的新歌 ‘聽袁惟仁彈吉他’. Ella rap 得很棒, hebe 唱得很好聽. 我以前不喜歡 S.H.E., 不過最近愛上了她們的 Rap, 很 cute, 很自由自在, 在舞台上也很放. 最喜歡Ella, 很有性格. Hebe 很漂亮. 我還是不喜歡 Selina, 沒甚麼特別.

曹格的假音太棒了, 比女人還高, 他很 R&B, 可惜長得不帥, 還很 ‘抱歉’… 需要時間習慣他的醜. 王力宏 no doubt 很帥, 新專輯我聽了幾首, 可惜沒有很感動… 需要時間習慣他的新風格.

聽電台 MY FM 說林宇中八月底會回古晉開個唱, will try to get a ticket to go.

一個人的我今天感覺很舒服, 我喜歡這種很久沒有的任性.

電視吵死了, 不開.
電話, 不聽.
Housemate和我說話, 不理.
一堆朋友找我MSN chat, 不覆.
華文blog 香蕉朋友看不懂, 照寫.

應酬人的日子太煩了!!!

總之今天全世界找, $^*%^^&#!, 全都不管!!!

古晉歌手

今年大馬 ASTRO新秀大賽 亞軍歌手是來自古晉的 鄭冰來. 其實在初選到決賽他都是最高分, 結果在最後一場與S.H.E.的 ‘中國話’ 對唱中, RAP 的部分輸了給檳城的李政發, 屈居第二. 很為他不值.

http://ent.sinchew-i.com/content.phtml?sec=5&sdate=&artid=200708120188

Anyway, 希望他在接下來在香港舉辦的 TVB8全球华人歌唱大赛 中, 可以像去年新秀大賽亞軍陈世安一樣, 脫穎而出, 獲得冠軍.

http://ent.qq.com/zt/2006/tvb8act/

近年來, 古晉似乎歌唱人才輩出, 相繼有 林宇中 和同是ASTRO新秀出身的 張棟樑 . 不錯, 不錯… 也許是人傑地靈吧!!! 哈哈哈!!!

東馬人, 古晉人, 加油啊!!!

Market 'siao' again...

Market really go crazy again, keep going down everyday, guess the 10 years recession cycle is back. Need to sell everything and run liao. Bye bye my frens...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRO!

Just now when I was signing a request, I noticed today is my brother's birthday.

This bro of mine is one year younger than me, which makes the 2 of us sharing similar stages, similar concerns, similar thoughts a lot of time. We are both very analytical. No doubt he has higher IQ and more studious than me, but I think I am not that bad lah, at least wisdom wise *ahem*.

About my brother, let me think... :

1. He is organized
2. He plans forward (I think he has already planned up to 80 years old)
3. He reads a lot, a typical Phd guy
4. He is cheerful, enjoys making fun and laughing
5. He likes to talk to his bro and sis in his pretentious cute 'duck' voice
6. He is kind and loving, 有赤子之心 and 富有正義感
7. However when he gets stressed up or pissed off, he shows his 'lak kia seng' sometimes
8. He can have some very funny thoughts and ideas sometimes...

I remember there was once when we finished mowing the backyard of our house in Christchurch, we were lying on the lawn and were chatting. Suddenly he turned to me and said "Lao Jie, if one day, I tell you 'I love you' 3 times, it means I have some uncurable disease that I can't tell u face to face"... haha so silly, watch too much drama lah this guy. But I think that was quite cute, so we agreed on that 暗號.

There are in fact many interesting stories to write about this bro of mine... but what I admire him the most is his determination. When he decided to do something, he really takes action to realize it, no matter how tough it is. He is the type who will work hard to make his dreams come true and I have seen him did that many many times - basketball, boat rowing, rock climbing, top student in high school, best scorer in Bursary exam, excellent university results, published papers in journals, moved from S'pore to China and now in Sydney. Guess he is a real 'Nike' follower - 'Just Do It'. Compare to him, I'm just so ordinary... not much achievements worth mentioning all these years...

Anyway, I like this bro of mine. Somehow my heart always feels very warm thinking of my two younger brothers cos' they are both very cute and loving indeed (even though I wish I could have a sister... haha, 'boh hu hair yeah ho lah' - no fish got prawn pun ok). Everytime the 3 of us get together, we always can joke so much and laugh so hard. They are just so sweet... I'm really blessed to have such a good relationship with my two lovely brothers.

Well on this day, I wish my bro Lek Lek

'HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAH!!!!'

What do you think about Malaysian chinese?

I just went to youtube and watched Namewee's 'Negarakuku'. This guy really has gut, dares to modify our national anthem to joke about the inequality against chinese in our country. That makes me think how I feel being a Malaysian.

Generally I think Malaysian chinese are:
1. Friendly
2. A bit shy (pai seh pai seh)
3. Got very good language ability, multilingual
4. Very open and adaptive
5. Curious and kepo
6. Share similar Malaysian sense of humour
7. Down to earth, not pretentious
8. Not very handsome or pretty, not very fair due to the weather
9. Mostly wear glasses, thanks to SPM exam
10. Very warm to foreigners, show good hospitality
11. Have self confidence, comfortable with our own nationality (I can't tahan China chinese, they feel very 'low level' in front of Amo, but like to talk big about their nation at the back.)
12. Not that kiasu, quite happy go lucky

Actually I still got a long list to go on... but I think I should give you guys a chance to express.

So what do you think?? List your good and bad.

Two days of constant lecturing...

Mum and Dad were in town these two days. I went happily to pick them up at the airport during lunch hour yesterday. The moment they stepped into my car, my dad started his first round of lecturing. He has got a new trick. Instead of advising me to 'find someone', this time he started the conversation with 'Mei mei, you should get yourself a driver...' Duh.

Then from dinner till 1 a.m. last night, the two of them continued to bombard me with lectures. My dad shared with me his latest 'analysis' about me, about marriage, about how miserable I will be when I am old if I stay single and some miserable stories he knows... blah blah blah. It ended when I got really sleepy so I promised them I will try to get 'the mission' done by next year.

By the way, that was around 1:20 a.m. in the morning.... zzzzz....

This morning, instead of hearing my alarm snoozing (I usually can't hear a thing no matter how loud it goes), I heard my mum laughing. She slept next to me last night and the moment I opened my eyes this morning, I saw her smiling staring at me.... hmm spooky. She said "Aiyo, mei mei, you can't hear your alarm at all izit??". My mind went "Die loh... the snoozings must have gone on quite a few rounds as usual so mum must have found out that I have never changed my 賴床 habit all these years..." Anyway, I just ignored her and turned away to continue sleeping. There she started the first lecture in a day again...

"You know your dad is very 'ko lien'. You are his only daughter and also his only worry now... he really loves you very much you know and he is so worry to see you always so 弔兒郎當..."

OMG.................. this is the n number of round since yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD, I GOT YOUR MESSAGE LIAO LAH!!!
