Throwback Thursday #4 : Valentine's Day Special

Hi,

It is Valentine's day eve and I want to do a throwback since it is also Thursday.

Viknes is not very particular about birthdays, anniversaries or any special days. He always says that buying a gift and celebrating love is not necessary on special occasions.

I am the other way round. Gift and cakes are a must on birthdays, anniversaries or any special days. Honestly, I was disappointed with Viknes's principle but slowly I get used to it.

Anyway, he gave me some surprise gifts on 2011 Valentine's because he wants me to feel happy.

A brow liner, a watch, a chocolate, a nose stud and a card.

 

He thought the brow liner was actually eye liner. Haiz...

 

I made a card for him.

 

 

This is my most favourite Valentine's day gift till today. 

 



Happy Valentine's Day to all!!!

 

My Weekend #5

How was my weekend this time???

I was feeling sick, still feeling sick and I don't know why. I am surviving with Panadol Soluble but I think I need to go to a clinic soon.

I worked on Saturday night because there was no availability at office.

Night shift, what can I do? I came back and slept. I planned to wake up at 1400MYT but slept until 1700GMT.

 

I went for dinner with my friend Relina at Tappers, Shaftsbury Cyberjaya. The food is awesome. I will definitely go there again. This time, I had 'Kung Po' Chicken Rice and Honey Lemon water. Aother reason apart from the food would be the environment. I was too hungry to take photographs. Maybe next time...

And I called it a wrap for week 5 of the year!!!

Team Tokyo

These people that I am going to talk about played and plays an important role in my life.

I spend 9 hours 5 days in a week at office and I see them everyday.



Ramesh was my team manager. Honestly speaking, I started working with zero knowledge on calls and banking. Credit goes to him for what I am today. I still remember my first call coaching with him, where he advised me not to use 'okay' all the time on my calls. Now, I could handle all types of calls. Ramesh is now no longer with the team because he have moved to a department where he always wanted to be. Good luck Ramesh and I am sure your new team members would appreciate you as much as I do to.

Sarmila have left the company for a better opportunity too. Sarmila, if you are reading, wishing you the best to come in life. Please keep in touch. We have Whatsapp and Facebook and please start your blog soon.

Tanya is the baby of the team, thus the nickname Tanya baby. I can only think of hugging when I see her because she is so huggable.

Afiah is one person that are dependable if you need help and she is very detailed in her work.

Esther is a very mysterious girl. One day, she would be drinking her green tea and reading a novel, and next she would be baking.

Thaya is a father to be soon.

Ishpal is a cute boy and helpful too. Any single Punjabi girls out there???

Zai is close to my heart too. The reason is she is one of the seniors in my office that I mingled first before others. When I met her, she was single. Now she is married to her love of life and have a baby girl, thus making her mummy of the team.

Yugga... you were on a birthday vacation when this photo was taken. So, I have to steal your photo from facebook. Yugga loves dogs and she now have a blog, http://tinylilcutepaws.blogspot.com/.

There are many others in my department, my trainer, team manager and my colleagues but the people above are the one that I spend most of my time due to the shift changes. If I have a chance, I would be writing about you too...be nice to me...

The Laugh

Happy Monday,

I haven't heard Viknes laugh for a long time. Or may be I didn't pay attention.

Yesterday, I called him to let him know that I am going out for dinner with my friend.

He said okay and when I am going to end the conversation, he laughed.

A laugh that I miss so much. It made me smile the whole day and I am still thinking about it now.

 

 

 

 

Since it is Monday and I always post motivational quotes on Mondays, I will post some quotes that like and it is related to laughter.

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

And last but not least,

 

Drink tea. I like tea, yummy!!!
Wear something that makes you feel good. Good and comfortable.
Say please and thank you. I say this all the time.
Tell somebody you love them. I tell my husband I love you every time I end a conversation.
Eat dessert first. I am watching my diet.
Watch the sunrise or the sunset. Hmm, quite difficult with current shift.
Wear perfume. Each time I smell good, I feel good.
Smile (a lot!). I do this too.
Read a book. I like reading books but I have not find any good reading material yet.
Cook or bake for someone else. I can cook but bake, let me have a baking oven first.
Wish others a lovely day. I wish my customers have a nice day everyday.
Watch a good film. Weekends...
Do all things with thought and care. I must practice this more.
Think before talking. I must practice this more.
Take 1/2 hours day to do something special for yourself. Facial, painting toe nails...
Stop and really savour your meals. Stop messaging and playing with the phone while I am eating.
Help someone in need.
Listen to your loved one's laughter.

 

Hope my post beat your Monday Blues away!!!

Current BRAIN activity

I could not think of any title to describe what is running in my mind now because literally there are many...

Some of it...

 

 

I  hated Neurology when I was a Physiotherapy student. And now, when I am actually labelling what is running in my mind, I kept on thinking of stroke, aneurysm, frontal lobe, parietal lobe, Broca's area, medulla oblongata...

 

 

Hmm...



Guess the Emoji

Hi everyone,

I am currently addicted to this game. Great exercise for brain.

 

 

 

But, I learned to cheat on this game. I will try to solve the quiz as much as I can but if I know I can't figure it out, I will google it.

 

 

I was on this particular emoji question where there was a knife and shower head.

 

 

 

 

I could not work on this, I was thinking suicide, blood, cut. OMG, I was stressed. Then, I just google it. I typed knife and shower head, google suggested emoji and when I clicked search surprisingly many websites have the answers.

 

 

And I got the answer :

 

 

 

Okay, it made sense. Who would bring a knife to shower? A psycho would, maybe...

 

 

I know the fun of the game is gone. Honestly, I will try to to work out the quiz as much as possible then I will cheat.

 

 

If I spoiled your fun, sorry!!!

 

 

Happy Emoji-ing!!!





My Weekends #4

I took annual leave on 30/1, 31/1 and my my off days were on weekend, so I had 4 days to spend with my family.

How was my weekends??? It was pretty tiring but at the same I enjoyed it. I got some time off from work and my constant worry over my licence and life...

My brother's 21st birthday

It was my brother's 21st birthday on the 31/1/2014. My parents and I surprised him with a small cake and of course birthday wishes at 0000MYT. Then his friends came over and you can see what happened...

The birthday boy

 

 

Trip to Batu Caves and Maranthadavar Temple

Since it was my brother's birthday, my parents planned to go Batu Caves and Maran Maranthadavar temple. After morning prayers at Batu Caves, we went to Maranthadavar temple.

Maranthadavar temple is 10km from Maran town and it is worth to be visited. I have a habit of reading the history of a place that I am going to visit, so I read about Maranthadavar temple and was eager to go there just for the tree that was told in the history.

It started with road construction from KL to Pahang where all the trees were chopped down and this particular tree bleed. The history are carved on the walls of Maran temple too.

There were only 2 restaurants opposite the temple. Sadly, when we go there to have lunch, they said they only serve drinks.

There are some stalls selling flower garlands, milk and prayer items. One uncle told us that we do not have to worry about food, because they serve "anna thaanam" everyday. And yes, they did but my family and I didn't have it because the place they serve the food was crowded.

The temple was packed with devotees since it is public holiday and my favourite part is tying a yellow cloth with coins to the tree.

If you do not have patience waiting for the "anna thaanam", please bring your own food because there is no any restaurants for next 10 kilometres until you reach the Maran town.
 

Teluk Batik

On the 1/2, my family planned to go to Teluk Batik. My mother cooked fried mee hoon and fried chicken. Nearest beach to go from Teluk Intan and we had a small picnic.

I spend the Sunday at home watching TV and I call it a wrap for week 4 of the year.

And welcome February, the month of love.

Fruit tart...yummy!!!
