1st anniversary for the team

so last night was the team dinner.. lovely!!! i haven't had a steak since god-knows-when!! hahaha... more updates here and here but pics are still being uploaded... :)

Team Dinner

it was our 1st anniversary of the team being in the KL branch and we went out for dinner - Roadhouse Grill in Jalan Ampang ... the food was lovely and the company too....

will write about it more and pics as well... need to wait for the 3 fellas for the pics...

(i'm still smiling but i don't want to be too confident or get my hopes to high - maybe it's not what it seems to be? so i'm just staying my cool and just enjoying smiling because of what's happening)

smile...

i had a reason to smile, i loved the reason that made me smile, like i was there again...

(just hope the reason to smile will last... gosh i can't stop smiling!)

lil updates

this week, my dept it seems will be 8 years in my company... though it has been 7 in aussie and 1 year here in KL... so the boss is wanting to have a dinner to "celebrate".. we're still discussing where to go but somehow there's no feed back or suggestions.. like as if ppl not interested... then i heard it's supposed to be held this sat... nooooooo..... this weekend i'm going back to see the arabs before they leave on mon... so i won't be in kl for the dinner... i was sooo looking forward for a good piece of steak... sigh....

in other news...

last weekend, the st joseph's church (in Sentul) had a Food and Fun Fair in the grounds - 100 years anniversary... lots of food and games too!! just like a mini carnival.. it was officially opened by Dr Lim (former Minister of Health - former MCA President)... it was the first time i saw him in person..

there was soo much food! the usual burger, kl chee cheong fun, nasi lemak, rice with curry, tosai,chapati, friend chicken, fresh fruits, drink stalls, satay, sandwiches.... fuuh... too much! that was just for the morning/afternoon session! i left around 12pm and i don't know what else they had...

as for games, there was the Dunk Me, light the candle, cannon ball, football, darts, throw the ring,wheel of fortune, electricity rod, golf.... the games we going on and on, there were so many ppl lining up as well

there was a stall that sold second hand stuffs, clothes, art, decorations... and at that stall at a corner, i saw stacks of cds... not any old cds but NEW and ORIGINAL cds man!!! what i got was 2 compilation cds, On the Rocks and Hitz Chart topping hits... and guess how much... RM2 EACH man!!! can u believe that??? wonder where they got it from or who donated it..

i also heard that towards the end there was pony/horse rides... emma and ian had fun going on those rides.. at night before the carnival ended, we went back to church to see the fireworks.. it wasn't too fancy but it was still a lovely sight! and it was just above our heads!

being a tour guide

i had an apportunity to be a tourist guide for the family who came down to penang with me... i was glad to bring them around and showing them my world in penang, the world of great food! hehehehe... boy did i FEED them! hahahah.....

lunch one day, i brought them to my favourite coffee shop... KEK SENG at Penang Road... omg... i just love the food there... and i'm glad the family agreed too!! heheheh... my new converts! :P

far left: char siew rice / blue plates: pohpiah / yellow rim plate: pie tee

bowls: LAKSA babeh!!!

DURIAN ICE CREAM!!!! (i'm just drooling thinking about this!! hahahah)

then we went to Western Road to see Uncle Noel - Andre's dad

KL ppl come Penang, don't see beach? where can??!!! so, since the beaches in Penang are not ppl-friendly (dirty la i mean...) i brought them to Gurney Drive... good it was a breezy day, so it wasn't too hot... but it got hot later on...

then, we all went to Fort Conwallis (err.. how do u spell that?) .. first we went to the main entrance that I knew la.... the entrance i took the first time i went there... when we got there, the notice told us to use the other entrance... so hmm... i was thinking, what other entrance... then i remembered the one near the playground.. so ok la, we went through that way...

lucky the entrance was there, entrance fee was RM3 for adults, RM2 for kids. so we paid and masuk la...

nice shot - i like... hehhe - it's the main famous cannon...

here's a pic i love, the air was clear, i was VERY bright and the angle was just right - thanks guys for posing! oh, btw this is the light house

did u notice the hat and the raffle gun with the lil poser? heheh ain't he cute?

actually, i also brought them to Campbell Street for food shopping, we bought lots of pneah and jeruk.. me too actually heheeh.... and also went just down the Penang Road for the famous chendol and char koay teow... yummers.... i'm glad they liked the lil trip i had for them... though i wish they could come back again so that i could bring them to the beach and more food!!!

brief nights in penang....

i've been going back to penang quite frequently for the past few months... it's cause of my new baby and also had family to see.. reunion, family tour guide and stuff....

so here's some pics that i managed to take...

night O-N-E

night out with the gang.... the night i introduced my baby to rosie pig... she loved him too! hehhe.. i just love to share him.... then later met up with chercouz and edbotak.. we were bored.. so camwhored abit ler... it's been a while since we took pics together-gether...

(rosie - u still owe me some old pics.. :P heheh)

i was bored ok... person taking pic was taking too long...

night T-W-O

met up with an old friend just for drinks and played some pool... haven't played pool for a million years man!!! but it was good to catch up... :) though we met a few times when i came back just for 2 hrs or so..... but in the end we would end up having drinks and more pool.. hahahah... hmm.. my new drinking buddy? heheheh yea right..

old posts

*this was writen quite some time back...

the reunion is coming... i can't wait... it's been a few years since i saw them, the last was when i went to see them in dubai with anna.... too bad i'm now not in penang... if not i'll sure to meet them as much as i can...just hope when i get home i can see them not only on sat but other days as well..

it looks like there's quite a number of ppl coming for the reunion... about 30 odd ppl... whoa!! we haven't really had an event like this... and i hope my "entertainment" will be good and ppl won't get bored... it'll be such a humiliation if my "entertainment" is a failure...

hope there'll be drinks... didn't manage to ask D'man what drinks he brought... hmm... this time don't care if gonna drink infront of dad... :P there'll be so many ppl to drive back anyway... the family here in kl will be joining us too! gosh i can't wait!! it'll be so much fun!!

*********************************

i'm on 2 days leave and together with sat and sun - i'm practically on a holiday!!! hehehe... but my 4 days will be hectic man... prepping my baby will take about half a day, then i got to get my materials for my "entertainment" for sat and do some banking and meet up with a girlfriend... sigh... i miss her so much! haven't seen her since i came to kl.. the next leave i'll be taking would most prob be for her wedding dinner... it'll be a short weekend...

i still feel like taking a holiday, this time i got to brave myself and SAVE for a properholiday, most prob be a local holiday - don't think i have the gutts to go overseas on my own... i have a so called invite to go to sabah.... but that's only if i'm into nature, forest, hiking type of thingy.... but then again... it's better than being in KL for a hol... i need my sun, sea and sand man!!!

maybe i'll take him with me and we'll go to PD... good idea eh? the family here know's PD so maybe they could tell us on how to get there... but of course, i can't "fish" for any fishes there.. to do proper "fishing" have to go to the more happening places....

kl life is still amaizes me... the many times i take the train to/fro work, i've been seeing so many types of characters and also the path i walk to work, i pass many types of ppl.. i keep wondering on what they're thinking about.... where they're from and most important WHY are they in kl... at the same time, i keep asking myself... why am I in kl? to gain experience? yes, to earn more money? sort of.... but the bottom line is i guess to learn more about what's out there for me in life... to see how meaningful my life can be... it's weird... though it's already my 7th month here, i still feel like i've just arrived here... i feel like i haven't seen the real KL yet... maybe i'm too scared to look, or to scared to be OUT there to experience it, maybe i still need that hand to grab me by the hand and bring me out there...

sigh.. i guess i'm still the same me.... same ol girl in penang - a chicken shit... from one comfort zone to another... still don't want to live life on the edge...

i remember someone telling me that i haven't been at the most rock bottom of my life... and since i haven't been there, i wouldn't know and understand the hardship of ones life.... maybe that's true but i obviously don't want to screw myself on purpose so that i can be at rock bottom just to experience what life is all about, right or not? - then again, i'm chicken shit... i hate not knowing what my next step will be...

Reunion overdue pics

the party started abit late, cause bbq was not ready even at 7pm... so everyone was mingling around and catching up with everyone else...

told andre to draw something on the white board and this is what he came up with... but soon after Sharu (Audrey's kid) was bored and showed her drawings on it...

designed by Andre Reutens (before Sharu's input)

so while we were waiting for the BBQ to be done, we started off eating the inside food.. as u can see the dinner table was full! we had Dominos pizza for the kids mostly and the FAMOUS Reutens macaroni, satay, Hamedyah Briani rice and loads of different types of drinks... but somehow no one seemed to "thani" that night.. yes we had beer.. but... no major drinking

indoor food

BBQ was done by Cheryl and Edzil, helped by the rest who wanted a "bbq smoked facial" and wanted to play with fire... i tried my hand at it but i was in charge of games and the kids were bored... so i had to get some games going for them...

outdoor food

so then everyone started to eat and the BBQ was half way done... the chicken was lovely and the ribs too... too bad i didn't have 2nds... and for desert - what we had was in the pic below... can u guess?

guess what this is?

one of the games i had for the kids were "dress up", had a grown up assigned to each kid to help with the dressing up... and guess who was the judge and time keeper? it was Esther! hahah.. she was having a blast!

who were the participants?
Kelly with Audrey
Max with Cheryl
Sharu with Aunty Lillian
Ian with Andre
Emma with Carol

kids dress-up game

and what a coincidence, it was Aunty Lillian's birthday too! and Lynn surprised her with a bouquet of roses! lovely! Aunty Lillian was soo shocked!! heheheh

SURPRISE Aunty Lillian!!

other than the kids games, i also prepared a Treasure Hunt for the adults with the kids... everyone enjoyed it but had feed back that 2 of my clues where... wrongly done.. sigh.. oh well, as long they enjoyed the game that's good for me... u could have seen them, running all over the house! hehehe... i had clues outside in the garden, cooking area and in the hse...

then there was So You Think You Can Draw? (adaption from So You Think You Can Dance?).. it's actually Win, Loose or Draw lah... first it went well, but somehow my clues were not familiar and somehow the game died-ed

i had another game which was Passing the Parcel but it was getting too late and everyone was getting tired... so finally we had the birthday-cake-cutting ceremony for Aunty Lillian...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
(cake made and iced by Max & Kelly - it was lovely!)

when everyone was enjoying the cake, those who had cameras were just snapping pics away, trying to get everyone taken for memories.... here's one good one...

one hell of a stressed out Anna! heheh

finally, we all took a group picture as always... took a few for just-in-case purposes... and at the end of the night, i gathered everyones memory card of their digital cameras and burned them into cds and gave each and everyone a copy... so that everyone will be able to see the pics! cool eh? it was good to have everyone make it to Penang and to meet up again... good to know that family is still around eventhough the old-ones are not around.. hope the next one the aussies and the english would be able to come too! heheeh

The REUTENSes!

be patient ppl

yes yes i WILL update about the family reunion.... just have no time, and when i do (like now) i don't have the pics with me... sigh....

anyway.....

life's been ok.... been sort of drawn to forums and into detailing.. i never knew what detailing means after i joined the forum... soon enough i came to find out that it was a totally new world to me... sadly it really costs alot of money... sigh... anyway, i did go to a detailing shop and just chatted with the owner there. he's very passionate in his work and just gives his best to all his customers... soon, i'll be his customer... :) err.. currently waiting for gaji la... what i'm more worried about is the after-care, once the detailing is done....

sigh... u know what my mum will say bout this - SIBUK! hahha....

st anne's this week, and i'll be back to say my farewells to the arabs and hopefully burn some candles at st anne's.... good that i manage to get leave on friday! yeah!!! oh... talking about that, i need to buy my bus ticket back for thursday...

how do u get back on the playing field when u haven't been playing for the past nearly 7 years? u may have ppl who are interested in u (which i doubt if that's the case for me), u may have ppl that u have your eye on...

but what the fuck do u do? i mean, u can't just let it be? cause it's obvious that something is happening... i don't know but i'm scared.... i'm scared to react, i'm scared to make my move and i'm scared to even try... i don't want to be back like how i was before - getting rejected like dead flies falling from the sky and also, when u think it's getting somewhere and suddenly they tell u that they have someone in mind and there u go, a smack in the head/face - again... and what's sad, i can't see myself being together with them - cause it just doesn't look matching.. if u know what i mean... sadly it hurts especially when u see them once in a while

in the last weekend, the team had a go-kart event... like real real race with trophies all you know! and... uhumm.. hmm... *clears throat* ... someone, managed to qualify and went to the finals!!! aahahhah it was soo much fun i tell u!!! nah, did not win.. wasn't last as well!!! good right? :) pics go here but will cerita bout the event later... still waiting for more pics

hmm... been wanting to go to Just Heavenly and Black Canyon... who wanna join me? we go together gether :)

holiday's over...

it just makes me feel sad.....

1- my 4 days leave is over.... and i'm to be back at work tomorrow... damnit!!!

2- haven't been spending much time with the arabs... miss the kids... *cry* will have to try to come back again for st anne's feast to see them again...

the party last night was a bomb!! had so much fun though i didn't really have enough to eat.. not to say that there's not enough to eat... but had NO time to eat! hahahah.... i was planning the games, had to keep the kids entertained... who would have known uh? me and kids... HAHAHHAHA....

i'm sure everyone had a good time... with good food and great company... sadly i didn't really catch up with david, suzanne and audrey.... and of course the arabs.. will write more about what had happened.....

sure wished i could eat more of this...!!!

stress release

*this was written quite some time back

poor thing, look at him... he has served me much... he used to be very white, clean and in good form... now.... i owe this lil fella one....

The Reunion

today's the day where some of the Reutens' are meeting... gonna be loads of food, games, pics and chat!! updates soon!!!

cheap palms!!!

*for IT tech supports....

Disclaimer : If you are to follow these palms in this post, please beware that it is your OWN responsibility on the outcome of this usage. I will no be responsible for anything that has happened to u (fired or kena scolding or warning letter). This post is mearly a joke for entertainment - should not be taken seriously. I'm serious.

Clear your internet cache!

There are all kinds of nasty little buggers and malicious content that could be in there damaging your PC. After clearing the cache, make sure to wait 30 minutes for your computer to re-index itself and adjust to the new changes.

Reboot in safe mode!

Safe mode is a diagnostic mode. Its almost like running a dedicated IV-Line to your computer, once in safe mode, allow your computer to run for approximately 1 hour in that mode.

Flush your DNS!

Well, no wonder silly! You haven’t applied the system cleanse to your machine. Websites like CNN.com that you are trying to look are constantly being updated to keep you up to date. Without having your DNS flushed frequently, how are you supposed to download new content from the webserver?

Disable the firewall!

Having a firewall is like having a giant condom over your computer. It is essentially the root of all evil, and is preventing you from doing what you WANT and NEED to do. Disable it, restart, and be sure to allow the appropriate power down time for the firewall (approximately 30 minutes).

Disable your anti-virus software!

To immediately fix your problem, you have to disable your Anti-virus. Honestly, would you pump tons of antibiotics into your own bloodstream 24/7/365? I didn’t think so. Allow for 2 hours for the anti viruses to dissipate.

The bounce-back blame!

Can’t you see, the bounce back message clearly states that the message was not sendable to the recipient, this means that his/her box is currently down. Please consult with the person you are trying to send to and have them fix it.

The famous format!

If you have run through our knowledge base on known fixes for this issue, we are going to have to format your hard drive. Simply plug in the start disc that was provided with your PC and follow the on-screen instructions. Once this is complete, your computer will run like brand new!

Reboot your system!

The system reboot is to the PC, as Windex is to the universal cure-all for everything. Would you go without sleep for days on end? Thats right, neither will your PC. Let your PC rest for a while and reboot it.

since i started work at bloody 6.30 am this morning, i'm glad that it was at that time actually... cause by the time i got back... it was 1 something.. and i had my nap till 5.30pm.. how sweet is that man!!!

wanted to be out whole night tonight, but then again, i don't know where to go with him.. decided to come to this makan place at Tmn Melawati... free wifi hoping the download speed is good... but unfortunately - not (though food is ok - had laksa... but who eats laksa with green pickled chillies??? gosh!!! ).... won't come here again for wifi... will have to go back to Burger King for downloading....

*note : i'm currently downloading the 1986 Transformers movie...

finally i have the weekend and i have NO plans!!!

ever since we got together, i've been wanting to spend time with him on a weekend but it's been busy every single weekend and didn't really have time to spend time together - alone

and now i have the time, i don't know what to do with him! hahahah.... also, i don't want to be tired on the weekend cause i haven't been getting my rest for the past 2 weeks.... and also, i don't know where to go! hahahah... crazy right? i'm in KL and i don't know where to go.... sigh... oh well... we'll see where the road takes us...

oh... my office got new guy... author of THIS blog... i did hear about his blog but somehow didn't know the URL and didn't get about reading his blog... i'm sure he will know that i have i linked him here (hi Ku !!) but what the heck, no one at works read my blog anyway... hahahah....

i'll be going back to penang on the 11th night (after work) - anyone wants a ride to penang?

and i'll be coming back to kl on the 15th - anyone wants a ride to KL?

life... sucks..

u want something
u dream of having it
u dream of using it
u hurt when it's there and u can't get to it...

but when u are given it - u get scared that u could actually have it, and then decline....

because deep down u know it's so WRONG to have it in the first place.....

then u feel that u lost your chance
u regret for not taking it
and u start from square 1 again....

u want something
u dream of having it
u dream of using it
u hurt when it's there and u can't get to it...

life sucks.... (at times)
