A little unwell
Feeling a little feverish today so I am not going to write long... need to rest.
Part of our conversation today -
You text today - So how's things going on in Pen?
I said - Pen is rainy cos sunshine is in Perth and I am a little sick
You replied - Sunny here but 5 Degrees. Damn Cold. You better take care….
You know what, I was in the Marina again today and it drizzling rain. It so cold and the berth was moving like a ship *hint**hint* I will feel exactly like I am in Alaska if I have your 5 degrees. See am still dreaming! When Captain shouted at me today I actually was not computing what he was saying at all. Poor soul! I meant he was so upset but I was just looking at him smiling and my mind was so away in Alaska. I think Shah was thinking, gosh what’s got into Jenn. Is she on weed or something. :)
Is a long day today… interesting… I got a new idea… I want to do something very interesting… sigh Nikko is going to give me that look and shake his head. Then after that long stare, I am going to pretend not knowing why and ask “What?”. Hehehe! Then he will give me one of his loving brotherly advice ‘Jenn, you just have so many things you wanna do but you not going to finish any! Start one and just stick to one!’ Oppss… ya because each time JennJenn want to learn something new Nikko Tan is going to have a lot of trouble. Lesson 101 photography, Lesson 101 Photoshop, Lesson 101 Coralsuite, Lesson 101 Server Hosting, Lesson 101 Creativity and on and on and on. Notice everything stops at 101! Hahaha! Right Sir? And yes Sir I will try to sleep early, I meant if I sleep about the time you sleep every night is consider early right? ;)
K..K.. I’ll share my ideas tomorrow night… and not bad mah… my blog already inspired our dear ‘youngman’ – little voice (I assure you thot he might be a little child-like {I used child LIKE huh*wink*} but then at times he is this very egoist, macho guy I know that is one of the best Wii players we ever seen)
MalMal yes you are also one of the person complaining about my outdated blog! But then again… nothing special cos you complain about EVERYTHING all the time one mah! Hehehe.. I can sense some more noise in my mailbox tomorrow.
Okie okie – sorry! You are this master know all Guru that I admire so much! Love your blog. Can you teach me to do the picture thing? Pretty Please!! I am going to do the link thing for the Wii Entry tomorrow.
Gotto go sleep now…tired and sick… I promise someone I will eat the medicine he brought for me and for the record I did dear – this morning and before I go to bed now. Hopefully I wake up feeling better tomorrow. :)

p/s: Nikko just send me this site - so cool - can JoJo come out with something like that ah?
What Makes Me - Happy, Hyper and High!
What makes a happy, hyper and high JennJenn? Here comes the discovery -
I wake up early this morning to get to work - little restless and sleepy - hehehe
Monday blues was still on me...and then my phone sms beep *nokia tune* ah.. was the continuation of the sms battle last night that reads and “invitation for Pangkok Laut with Spa and Massage as a treat”. Sigh, my dear… you really don’t really realize I have a job to keep huh? :) hahaha
Concentrate Jenn Concentrate – with a Capital C –
Then my email beep *you ve got mail* ah... my friend from San Francisco emailed me – it reads Subject: ‘European Trip’ and part of the email read “Well GREECE, …tell me whether you are game for that. Sometime at the end of June or July should be a good time for us to go. We better finalize by Jan’08…if you invite one more friend …”
*Jenn you need to read, understand, comprehend the contract* ;)
As I did that – a man walks in – and says ‘Ms Jennifer? X asks me to deliver this to you… and guess what - It a large cup of tea latte from Coffee Bean – gosh with a message written on the coffee bean napkin. Hahaha! How sweet. How original. I was grinning crazy and not knowing how to react. Thank you so much my dear you don’t know how much it makes me day. It certainly keeps me as hyper as you are the whole day. Well it makes me double happy with double vanila ceylon. You know what makes me triple happy? Tomorrow instead of your driver/office boy sending latte- you can send your PA over and do my work and then I’ll go have tea latte with you. You won’t complain I won’t have tea with you then. Hahaha.. and yes very likely you going to answer me the same thing you said to me the last time – you can’t send your PA over because you needed her to finish your work so that you can go and buy tea. :) and I still do have a job to keep *wink**wink*
Then I headed down the Marina to do some work and Wendy called to wish – "Jenn Happy Belated Birthday". Yes Yes Yes... she knew she’s in trouble for forgetting, right dear? Hahaha… k.. k.. you are forgiven! Anyway she says – I am moving to Jakarta in January so please come stay with me and spend some time. Ah.. Another holiday invitation!
End up having lunch in Kirishima (ya again) with an aunty who says – Jenn you want to go to Mauritius; I still have got my time sharing portion in a hotel I bought, let me take you along. OH MY GOD!! Of course I do.. hehehe!
Jenn’s Prayer -
Dear God, are you sending me a sign that I need another vacation? Or are you testing me to see if I give in to all these seduction of holidays. Well you know me… I’ll give in! ;) hahaha…Greece… Jakarta… Mauritius… I am coming!
And therefore I am still hyper, super happy and excited from the first day of my week. What makes JennJenn happy, hyper and high? Tea latte from coffee bean and a list of vacation invitations! Okie – Tea Latte! :) I am still grinning ;)

Honor Thy Father!
"The word 'Thanks' seems inadequate for someone who contributed so much to molding my character and shaping my future " ~ Joseph E. Falkner
Today is Father's Day... how is best to celebrate Father's day? Is to have 3 nights celebration with good food, in the loving company of the world best fathers! :) To sit, listen and see the world through their eyes for once.
Today is Father's Day... how is best to celebrate Father's day? Is to have 3 nights celebration with good food, in the loving company of the world best fathers! :) To sit, listen and see the world through their eyes for once.
First night was my birthday dinner celebration actually, but these 3 wonderful goddads walk in and smiling happily - what’s the occasion? Are we celebrating an early Father’s Day? :) How lovely when the look of regret and guilt filled their faces when they totally forgot that it is your birthday and the effort they take to ‘secretly’ and ‘industriously’ get you an ‘ang pow’ is just pure joy to my heart.
Of course the 2nd night was the official father’s day celebration on the Father’s day eve with the children in the ‘father’s choice’ Chinese restaurant. Ending with the hang out at moi’s house because they insisted of watching ‘Winners’ (is that OLD OLD BAND) the Hong Kong band playing on AEC’s Taiwanese Award while complimenting which current female singer is prettier. Of course they conclude the night by challenging each other to Wii – my latest gift for my dad n mom – yes yes from Daniel’s kind recommendation ( he keep reminding me that! Okie okie.. next Wii Gathering my house)
And then today – of course the Actual father’s day – they proven themselves ‘filial father’ as they give in to their children’s choice of Japanese Food at the infamous Kirishima. Lol – is truly amazing to see the extend they love us their children – clearly just by the choice of food they eat. They don’t even like Japanese Food… hahahaa.. :) and then we ended up in Haagen Daaz for ice cream daddy will scream paying more than RM6 for each scope!! hahaha!! Fathers!!
Anyway for my dad, to me the greatest dad in the world – high in demand of many! :) Happy Father’s Day – I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY.
p/s: Grace am so tempted to put the picture of your dad in taken in Bayview earlier this year. haha.. but I am going to get killed if I do that :)
The Song Dedication: You've Got A Friend
The song that was playing while the plane fly across and I thot it just timely even thot you prefer the song that was playing before that :) Got to thank Ah Teik for sending the cd to me just that very night! Is still playing for me everyday now.. :)
You've Got A Friend
When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand
and nothing, whoa, nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
to brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah,
you've got a friend.
If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds
and that old north wind should begin to blow,
keep your head together and call my name out loud.
Soon you hear me knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there.
Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you. Well, they'll take your soul if you let them,
oh yeah, but don't you let them.
You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call, Lord, I'll be there,
yeah, yeah, you've got a friend. You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend.

A Promise
I know I know... its a little more than delayed.... but still a promise is a promise therefore it must be kept..
Part of this writings as abstracted from Jenn’s Journal Entry #*** -
On board HongKong-Vancouver - May 2007
Is a quiet, uneventful early morning and I am on my way to Canada. Only hustle bustle was at the airport but all events are kind of deaf to my ears. Probably becos I was sleepy from the night of staying up. ;) I told myself as usual I can sleep on the plane. Furthermore I can't contain all the excitment I feel in myself... finally I am making it to Canada and Alaska - the last frotier on earth. :) At the same time I can't help it.. to feel this tingling sense of pain and regrets in my heart. The gloominess as I know when I return back to Malaysia I shall already have Hong left for Perth. It not ever going to be the same anymore for Penang without Hong Hong.
Who is Hong? Mhm for those who already know him well enough I need not elaborate further and for those who doesn’t - what a waste for not getting to know such a beautiful soul that exist in the plane on earth. Our friendship take us back to year 2002 .. faithfully on Hong’s grandma’s funeral – yes what an event to bring two people together. :) Anyway our friendship just blossom after that – from gym, to tea, to mamak, to golf, to holidays we just kept enjoying each others company. I left on 2004 for Australia and we still kept in touch. Of course there is always Hong sending me to airport, picking me up from airport when I commute in between the two countries, throwing some surprise back home visit for my parents, mamak – coffee bean hang out - fine dining – theater n shows – golf - and some crazy times in SS! Hahaha! It’s all about food, drinks and entertainment!
Of course there is a time when he did not keep his promise of coming to see me in Aussieland instead he spends some good holidays in Switzerland, Europe and Korea and show off all those beautiful fun pictures later! Then again what to do Aussie is not Europe. ;) hehehe.. [Score one]
Part of the joy we enjoy in each other’s company is of course ‘tembaklogy’ which makes more fun if Ash, PK, Eugene, Kheng Lee or Eng Leong is around becos then Hong don’t always have to be my target? Right? What to do you da only one who lets me tembak and never shoot back until recently… until recently he tembaks me more than I do d. hahaha And those things they like to do without me around and then show off all the fun times without me later.. sigh…Then again you have to have the group to be so crazy enough to drive straight to Genting after clubbing 3am at night with not prior planning or drive all the way to Melaka for daddy’s meeting and then F1 race method back to KL to make it in time for theater in Bangsar or just drive to Tambun for seafood like every other weekend? *wink**wink* all those good memories! Oh.. oh.. or you can just leave for America for 3 months without planning for soul searching –That’s the spontaneous Hong I know.
Another best part of our friendship is – Eleena Ong. My soul sister and partner in crime in making Hunt Sun’s life a little more fun than it is! Hahaha… putting me and Lena together is a very unwise decision for Hong but of course a blessing for me and Eleena. We click from the very first time we meet, of course having a common ‘target’ - "Hong" - until I ended up being Lena’s bridemaid for her wedding last year and hopefully Godma to her child – next year? *hint**hint*
When we were having lunch with my parents about 2 months ago Hong drop the news – I am leaving for Perth. Then only I realize how much it affects me for you to go. I still remember calling you one afternoon and say I realize in the morning while driving to work how much I am going to miss you while you gone. Cos there will be no more driving at night or wee hours in the morning, no one to know how to order my tea in coffee bean ( hahaha and the fact that you not going to have coffee bean there to enjoy our new favorite tea! I miss that part for you), no more amazing sound system in car that plays a selection of my favorite songs and a manual skip machine(Hong) to skip the songs that I don’t enjoy *wink**wink* and the pillows in the car. I also have to find new tea mates, new cinema mates, new theater/show mates, driving mates so susah! Hehehehe! I miss my all-in-one!
However, what is best about my best buddy here is that you truly shown me over these years of friendship what unconditional love is. You never demanded me to be different, to change or tell me what to do or what should I become – more or less. You always, ALWAYS love me for who I am. That type of faith and trust you have in me touch my heart beyond words. When I am down or sad, I only need to make a call, and you will be here with your cool car and amazing sound system (which he ‘invested’ A LOT of $$$ in) hahaha, we head to get two tropical passion tea latte – not even one word being said to each other, we just drive and drink and listen to music and then you will send me home with a big bear hug. You are always there when I am down. I came to realize this year after a soul searching journey last year that even when I was at my worse character, you were there, not judging. Where everyone else was wanting to me ‘change’ or make the ‘right’ decision you trusted me enough for me to make my choice. That trust is now I know what I been searching for. You make the space to allow me to be who I want to be. When everyone else busy throwing advice on what I should do and become - you were just there for me always as a friend.
Hong, now that you gone to away to Perth, is just ain’t the same. Yes me taking for granted the fact I always have someone to call if I am in trouble. Thot all that said, I just wanted to you know I truly appreciate our friendship. We truly two halves of a Gemini twins. :) I am very proud of you making this decision. I want you to know I know how much courage you took out to make this one step. And this time I am going to trust you like how you trusted me. I return the other day from Vancouver and for the first time I look down and saw the street we stop by the last night watching the planes flew by. I knew I am returning to a Penang without you in it yet am happy you are doing so well in Perth. I am just happy.. happy for you.

When we were having lunch with my parents about 2 months ago Hong drop the news – I am leaving for Perth. Then only I realize how much it affects me for you to go. I still remember calling you one afternoon and say I realize in the morning while driving to work how much I am going to miss you while you gone. Cos there will be no more driving at night or wee hours in the morning, no one to know how to order my tea in coffee bean ( hahaha and the fact that you not going to have coffee bean there to enjoy our new favorite tea! I miss that part for you), no more amazing sound system in car that plays a selection of my favorite songs and a manual skip machine(Hong) to skip the songs that I don’t enjoy *wink**wink* and the pillows in the car. I also have to find new tea mates, new cinema mates, new theater/show mates, driving mates so susah! Hehehehe! I miss my all-in-one!
However, what is best about my best buddy here is that you truly shown me over these years of friendship what unconditional love is. You never demanded me to be different, to change or tell me what to do or what should I become – more or less. You always, ALWAYS love me for who I am. That type of faith and trust you have in me touch my heart beyond words. When I am down or sad, I only need to make a call, and you will be here with your cool car and amazing sound system (which he ‘invested’ A LOT of $$$ in) hahaha, we head to get two tropical passion tea latte – not even one word being said to each other, we just drive and drink and listen to music and then you will send me home with a big bear hug. You are always there when I am down. I came to realize this year after a soul searching journey last year that even when I was at my worse character, you were there, not judging. Where everyone else was wanting to me ‘change’ or make the ‘right’ decision you trusted me enough for me to make my choice. That trust is now I know what I been searching for. You make the space to allow me to be who I want to be. When everyone else busy throwing advice on what I should do and become - you were just there for me always as a friend.
Hong, now that you gone to away to Perth, is just ain’t the same. Yes me taking for granted the fact I always have someone to call if I am in trouble. Thot all that said, I just wanted to you know I truly appreciate our friendship. We truly two halves of a Gemini twins. :) I am very proud of you making this decision. I want you to know I know how much courage you took out to make this one step. And this time I am going to trust you like how you trusted me. I return the other day from Vancouver and for the first time I look down and saw the street we stop by the last night watching the planes flew by. I knew I am returning to a Penang without you in it yet am happy you are doing so well in Perth. I am just happy.. happy for you.
This blog is a special dedication to ... Mr Bill Cheah GH
To you.......
Just got off the phone with you dear… sigh.. now I don’t know how.. to miss Alaska more or you more…hehehe.. after talking all about Alaska and my trip. ;) Er…er… I miss… A…A… of course I miss Ah Hong Hong more! ;)
I been cracking head to find a gift for you for your birthday .. promise I did I shop the whole Gurney Plaza wanting to find something of significant.. I guess I failed. Penang is just not the place huh? Okie okie.. kidding!
And then I receive a very special birthday present myself yesterday – indeed the most special birthday present this year from a very wonderful friend.
“A gift of ‘Nothing’ for a person who has Everything.”
Mhm… apparently a gift of Nothing can be brought from Bangkok right? ;)
So at night with a cuppa tea I slowly recalled of all my trips to Bangkok.. I don’t remember ‘Nothing’ was sold there as I always have Something to buy.
Then I began to relax… slowly thots began to leave me one by one… until I have Nothing in my mind... I tried to contain Nothing to give to you… but thus it’s truly difficult. So I fell asleep.
When I woke up this morning.. I don’t remember Anything… except of course it’s your birthday and I still have Nothing to give to you.
So my dearest Hong, I still have Nothing to give … only this little part of me that shall always be with you… This blog as a special dedication to you on your birthday, (as a promise I shall write before you leave, a little later but now more meaningful right? *wink**wink*) –
For my best friend, my twin –
Many Happy Returns of the Day. May you continue to be blessed with the unconditional love you been giving. May you continue to shine like the lights you always shone on me. For you know, no star glows if the sun refuse to shine and yet no one can see the star if the sun continue to shine all the time and you my darling knows the difference. You shall always be the sunshine of my life!
Your little star
