Time

Time passes so fast - faster than I am able to write - ;)

is already officially July 1st - I have lived half of 2007. How's 2007?

M-A-G-I-C-A-L

in every way.

1st January 2007 – Fire works on the ship, drinking champagne and ended up walking in the rain in New York City… truly a lifetime experience. Morning, I was having breakfast with Yen Wei, Dean and JiEun eating Korean rice cake. By noon I was in New York City roaming around SOHO’s shopping area (Oh ya the Apple Concept store’s there too), went to Union Square, NY University and end up on a dinner date with Daewon and all – cheekily arrange by Yen Wei n JiEun at this quaint little Italian Restaurant which I am still missing the crème burlee and apple martini! Hahaha! Not to forget I got drunk that night on shoots of Barcadi. Fingers cross Dean deleted those pictures! Hehehe! Not that drunk to miss strolling across Central Park and ended up the whole day at the Metro the next day. Thanks to Daewon for picking such a beautiful route to walk.

31st January 2007 – The day before I left Los Angelas – I was also sitting in a charming little Italian restaurant in Huntington Beach, Orange County with Michael and Huoi. At the airport, what they said to me was the most touching and generous things I ever heard, that change me forever - to who I am now.

1st February 2007 – I touched down at Penang airport, received by the two utmost important people in the world to me - My dad and mom. Ended up breakfast at ‘Wang Chau Chui’ – obviously my favorite food. Dinner at CRC with Grace and Family – surely make Grace ‘firery’ to the sense to Volcanic Eruption should I mention New York to her ever again! Hahaha!

1st March 2007 – I was in Bangkok having a good Thai lunch at the Hotel – the food was delightful. Sleep after lunch and later had a good Thai Massage (paid by JoJo even better.. hahaha) before dinner with Uncle ChatChai and Uncle Hong. Ended up big time shopping at Central – too bad the midnight sales were not on yet. ;)

1st April 2007 – Had the luxury of lazing at home, my 1st Chinese class – also 1st month into my first job and my very first pay cheque! ;)

1st May 2007 – The night before till over midnight – did we finish 2am or 3am that night? Was with the X-SCers at Daniel’s house – our first Wii Experience. Was a crazy crazy night – filled with food and fun! That night also cost me my current RM2000 addiction experience now happily shared (more like took over) by my dad! Only the addiction not the cost of the addiction thot! Hahaha! Wii!! If you guys are really interested to know what happen to us during Wii check out MalMal’s entry on http://blog.malcolmfoo.com/?p=22 Pictures says more than a thousand words! I took the picture Julian lying down!! I like that!! Hahaha! Anyway, some of us meet up again the next day and spend the entire day together Xbox-ing (ya more console games, and I beat MalMal and Julian in racing!!), doing photography, checking out websites and dining – seafood and ribs! More food! Hehehe

1st June – Canada. Was at the SummerHill Winery tasting Ice Wine – which no surprise I fell in love instantly with the taste! ;) Had a satisfying Thai Lunch and ended up with a scrumptious seafood dinner in Vancouver. We had oysters, lobster, geoduck, and salmon etc– so so d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s! Later at night Jojo and I went out exploring Robson Street and its surrounding before we get ourselves some warm drinks at Starbuck. I spend the later night in my hotel (tallest in Vancouver) room watching the night lights of Vancouver bringing me back to the memories of the night watching night lights over San Francisco city at Twin Peak with Jimmy and Tina. It’s just so mesmerizing!

1st July – Spend half the day sleeping – hahaha – becos was at Upper Penang Road the night before with X-SCers. Woke up when Godma called me for lunch, so ended up food tasting for Nikko’s wedding luncheon while he enjoys his Sunday watching Transformer – Bro, you going to owe me big time for this one! Hahaha! Dinner was fine at ‘LauEe’ for Joyce’s farewell. Mhm.. very nostalgic dinner. Parents and friends discussing about their ‘younger days’, we all discussing about Melbourne.

I miss Melbourne, more than usual. Talk to JA last week; make me miss Melbourne even more. He’s trying very hard to convince me to be back there. Then as I talk to Joyce about the do’s’ and places to go… it brings back even more memories. Think Joyce and family must be having the same emotions we went thru 3 years ago, all the anxiety, excitement, uncertainty, adventure lump into one emotion. Melbourne, Melbourne, Melbourne. Joyce – I am pretty sure you will fall in love with it, just like I did faithfully in 2003 and many others – before and after!

Half a year passed by, like I said every moment’s magical in itself. 2007 – I have never been happier in my life! A very good friend commented to my sister during lunch this week after not seeing me for more than half a year “Jenn smiles with a glow inside out and there are those sparkles in her eyes I have never seen before”. 4 months into a new job which I love tremendously, uncountable loving new and old friends entering and leaving, new path and commitment level in my soul’s growth, financially independent (btw I was offered my very own first principal card – a Standard Charted Platinum, my very own card!) and yes I lose 'some' weight, haha - maybe because I start eating vegetable and salad– okie don't give me that shock and disbelieve face - YES I am eating salad and vege! hehehee! Is all like a dream come true!

Now I am full or excitement and curiosity of the journey the next half of the year. I am still practicing to allow grace to enter at every moment. Yet I cannot help it but just wonder…

“Moonlight, light rays of happiness streaming thru your window pane. Dark skies lit up by that iridescent globe. Peeping thru the clouds, shy and yet boldly showing off its glowing rays. Lunacy, tides and emotions riding on the crests and troughs. Our moon often taken granted, rarely appreciated. Worshipped as a goddess, claimed by many to be green cheese, conquered by mankind. Truly something to admire”

Someone send this to me last night, I guess he is as nostalgic as I am this week. Anyway, if any of you did notice – the moon was truly bewitching last night.

Time with Mommy and Yes to Party

Huray mom is back and I spend the entire night shopping, eating and chatting with her. I miss our daily '3 hours'. Hahaha. Nikko knows what I meant! ;) Is just so fun getting to do the mother-daughter stuff all over again!

Oh ya you all have to leave a name or at least a way I could identify who is that, if not no way I could know who's anonymous on comments! ;)

Anyway, yes JennJenn –IS GOING to the party! *Grin* Found a new dress – so YES I got something to wear! I love it! Mom and Sister love it! Is now hanging in my bedroom! *Big Smile* and mom got me a lovely pair of new shows (k Marvin you are right and sharp - SHOE not Shows) to go with *Sweet*! And of course ‘The Penang Most Eligible Bachelor’ agrees to be my partner for the night ‘In Principle Right?’ Well, ‘In Principle’ Ch’ng will admit you into the ballroom. But then, I shall go with you tomorrow ‘In Principle’ ONLY if you show up with flowers! Hahaha! Just kidding!

Best news – JoJo’s going to be my jewellery designer. Yes even at the very last minute! How sweet is my sister! *Applaud* - for the very best and creative jewellery designer in town!

Perfect - now I get to feel like Cinderella! *wink**wink*

Most Glamorous Party in Town

Most Glamorous Party in Town

I received an invitation for the most glamorous party in town this morning and guess what I need to find someone to go with in 5 mins! All that Ch’ng’s fault ler! Hahaha! Okie okie.. he is sweet enough to notice I am not there in the list and call to make sure I am not missed out and then let me bring a partner along for his super expensive and famous party. How to find such a wonderful friend right? :)

Today is F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!

I did my usual round at the Marina - I was hiding at HaiNan Town - scare incase Captain still wants to throw me into the sea. *wink**wink* [Note: in very cheeky mood today and probably a little drunk from the wine, if I don't make it to work tomoro you know is your fault my dear!]

Anyway anyway, had lunch at KIRISHIMA.. *huray* make up for yesterday's lost - and better still in the company of [usually Nikko the very Fun and Cheerful] but I experience a different Nikko today..er.. Probably Nikko the little Stressful and Hungry! Of course, lucky me there is Ivy to save the day. I got to say the food choice today is –YUMMY!! I love the pork she did… so so so nice! *salivating* Helps to elevate his mood! ;) Of course, you are a little quiet then usual – okie a lot more quiet but still was great company. I mean who else would listen to all my ‘moh lui’ ideas and then say ‘Jenn, finish one thing not start’ Yes Boss!! Yes Boss!! Still they are two great ideas right? Tempting, tempting! Hehehe! Still thinking of the pork… so good!

Return to office – HURAY boss just gave me a new assignment! He scare I bored! Hehehe.. a lot - a lot - a lot to read and do but something I truly enjoy doing thot! I guess is going to be a lot of staying up till wee mornings to finish still.

Had a truly interesting dinner date at Bagan tonight. ;) Well I am going to keep this bit to myself … still I should not have that calamari becos I am so full now. That Belgian Truffles Cake is ‘wicked’ in every sense. Hehehe. Well my only regret - you totally melt a box of REAL Belgian chocolate and then you forgot my Swiss chocolate. Hehehe! Anyway, thank you for a wonderful night and yes you still have to change my mind, good luck – note 21st June 2007!

Ok… going to hit the sack. Nikko’s word “ Jenn, sleeping at 2am is NOT going to get you up at 7am. It does not work.” How he knows? Of course, he sleeps at that time! Hehehehe! *wink**wink*

Looking forward to tomorrow night – I got a dinner date with Penang Most Eligible Bachelor, hehehe… right Mr.K? Thanks to my sister!! I still can’t find a gown to wear – sigh!

Btw btw, I manage to mix a very beautiful shade of lipstick color I been looking for today – Yen Wei – I still like that Channel color u have! Baby Grace and Yen Wei can you both come back quick – I need my consultants home – am little bored with the colors I have d. What’s in? What’s new? Update update!

What a day

8am - What’s like woken up by a phone call of an angry man shouting on the other side? Well… that is what happen to me this morning – er.. poor thing that man? Cos I am not awake enough to understand what he is trying to say to me before he slams the phone. I must really still be floating plus the fact I am under the influence of ‘medication’. Poor Captain.. he must really be having a bad morning. Thot I got to say the whole event turn out to be pretty humorous for me!

Mhm.. anyway, is rather a S-L-O-W day for me, minus the fact that someone is so

i-n-c-o-n-s-i-d-e-r-a-t-e

to call and say

“Jenn, u going to the marina today, what about a drink at the Marina?”
"No No.. Captain won’t like to see me in the Marina.. not today and I don’t want to be throw into the sea. No thank you!"
*Noise* "Btw, oh am having a leg massage right now"

Can u believe it… all these “Anak Boss”, “Anak Dato’” and “Cucu Datuk” sigh…. I do have a job to keep my dear.. now you know why you were ‘/ignored’ for the rest of the day? Just kidding. I was busy when you called later.

Just as I finish my lunch, was settling down to work, my mobile rings – on screen *Daddy Darling* - “Ah Girl, we going to have lunch in Kirishima with Uncle John you wanna come?” OF COURSE I do… but … but… I just had my lunch… and I DO HAVE A JOB TO KEEP…arrrggghhh….I cannot take it anymore!

Thank God for dinner with Joanne and Jay – we went thru the 5000 pictures of Alaska. Have you tried to be the last customers at Chili’s to leave? That’s us *bow*. If you want to experience it, just loan my 5000 pictures and go have dinner there. Hehehe! Anyway, going thru the pictures make me float all over again. Quote Jay “If the lights in this restaurant blows out you still be glowing”. Joanne agrees, she says this is the best time to ‘tembak’ me of anything cos either slow response or no response. Of the fact that I was so cold and still sick...

Of course, then Robin and Eleena put me on aeroplane that night so does MalMal and PeiLing. I don't want to go thru the pictures again and again ...Sigh.. MalMal is busy writing on his new topic ‘Blogging Tips 101’. He is so smart that for the whole afternoon he has manage to come out with this..

Blogging 101 Tips
1. Learn how to type.
2.

And the fact that he has to do audit EARLY tomorrow morning, which PeiLing and I knew is a complete waste of time.. come on you don’t have to audit MalMal to know the fact that he won’t pass the quality test! Ooppsss… hahaha! Just kidding Mal. Just following my own tips of ‘Blogging Tips 101’ – choose a subject, tembak – my choice MalMal! Please don’t misunderstand, there is always this love-hate relationship going on for me and MalMal since we belong to the square group ie. JenJen, MeiMei, DanDan ;)

Anyway I love the close of the day, Daniel’s #Summon for PK’s bachelor’s party! I read about the ‘lap-dancer’ somewhere ... Jin is so not letting PK attends his bachelor’s party. Then again… Dan is organizing.. how ‘notti’ can the bachelor’s party be? Oh no.. I forgot.. the fact that he is now a married man – did you heard those ‘hokkien’ word he uses last time in his house… hehehe… I still love you son!

Goodnight people for being in another unusual day of my life.. Let us hope Captain is not calling me again tomorrow morning. :)

Btw, Daniel's Blogging Tips 101 : Picure's magic word is PICASA!
