S E E K E E L E E

Hello there! So I just changed my blog title to something that I believe in. I believe that I am living a good life. I have everything I need, what is there to complain about? Really. Life couldn't be better. But at work today, I felt a lot more demotivated than previous weeks. Many things happened the past month and most of them are quite negative, I'd say. I especially cannot tolerate seeing my fellow colleague being bullied. And this made me think twice about staying. I used to look forward to work everyday. And I really enjoy the things I do here. I bet it's really difficult to find this kinda employee anymore. That's me!

To take this joy of working from me hor, really requires a lot of annoyance one and I think it's gonna reach my limit real soon. I never wanted to blog about this because I have always believed in sharing the positive and I wanted to keep this low key coz not good la talk bad about my work place which I love so much. But really, I gotta let people know that everyone struggles in a way or another. THIS WORK STRESS THING IS REAL!!!

So now I want to remind myself and others, to keep these words in mind... "I am blessed, I am favoured."

Just thought of keeping this blog alive earlier in the morning. I know I haven't posted anything on how last year ended for me. Well, here it is!

I'd say 2014 was fantastic! To sum up how my year went, I'd say it was a year of many many many answered prayers, sometimes they weren't even prayers but mere thoughts/desires that I did not ask God for. I am just beyond blessed! I had one of the best Birthday celebration in my life, I joined a band that I've always wished since young, I got promoted at work (to the position that I wanted), got nominated as staff of the quarter, won a 'pink' competition at work, perform at staff party, wore red lipstick (HAHAHA), got into an accident (was not hurt) that caused me to make police report on my own, co-wrote and recorded a song and many more. Most wonderful was God keeping my grandma safe. Still praying for healing for her. If you will, pray with me! 



Thank you, Lord for remembering me all the time! I think it's very important to focus on the positive things in life rather than the negative. Although sometimes the bad stuff happens for us to learn, but if I were to dwell on the misfortunate events I wouldn't be so happy and thankful now!

After Christmas, I was able to make the KL trip possible with my 2 beloved! So glad that they were very accommodating to my requests. So we left Penang early in the morning. Checked in to De Uptown Damansara Hotel. I’d say, for the price we paid, the hotel is not bad at all! Also, it is located in the middle of most of the places we planned to go. After we’ve checked in, the rest of the day was just shopping, makan, shopping, makan. Actually I intend to write more about food in this post so bear with me yah! And you might probably get some heads up when you plan to go KL, with somewhat tight budget. Hehe!

Day 1 Lunch
Went to Village Park for their famous Nasi Lemak. RM9.00 for a plate of scrumptious fatness. Haha! On the plate, we have a huge piece of fried chicken thigh, sambal with ikan bilis, half of a hardboiled egg and few slices of cucumber. I personally think the nasi lemak is okay. But Sean loves it and would rave about it non-stop.



Day 1 Dinner
Our dinner was at Uncle Jang’s at Solaris. We knew about this place from the last trip we went. Wasn’t able to try as they were out of chicken meat -.- So we know we have to try this time!
I don’t remember the prices but we ordered a normal dak-galbi for 3 and added 2 ramen and 1 mushroom, more than enough for 3 persons. However, we were able to finish the whole thing. My rating for this is 5/5. I loved it! I love how when everything combines, the taste is just indescribably good! And I after I came back from KL, I found out that there’s a similar restaurant in Penang too, which I WILL GO SOON!



The second day was a Sunday and how can one miss church? This could be my first Sunday Service in KL. We picked DUMC. Every time when I go to churches in KL (the larger ones) my eyes sure O.O! Mainly because the building is major huge compared to ours in Penang, and also because of the servant hearts of the church. We saw many parking attendants along the road, and I once heard that some of them are big shots in their workplaces. I am so humbled to see that! We need more willing and serving people like them in our churches. So after the service, I bumped into a dear friend whom I have not seen for 8 years. And of course, we talked and laughed like how we used to in school. The feeling was nice and warm… hahaha! 


After that we went to Ikea. Ok now back to food:

Day 2 Lunch
I can never go to Ikea and not be tempted by their food. NEVER. We ordered, chicken wings, beef meatballs, cold shrimp salad, fish & chips, Salmon. Yes, A LOT for 3 persons. Everything was good except Salmon.

Ok I side track a bit here. Every time I go Ikea, I can only buy small stuff like, Idk, straws? Dustbins? Photo frames? And I have always wanted to look at them furniture with hope that I can bring them back with me. I have always loved decorating a house (or my room for now). And now that I can at least afford a dressing table, I found one that is super suitable to double up as a work space and dressing table. I got so excited and took with me table lamp and pretty table rag to go with my table. To my utter disappointment, the table that I wanted to get was out of stock!! Well, I believe everything happens for a reason. So ya la I am still surviving without that table what. :D
Alright now back to dinner, after we walked super long at Ikea and another mall we went to:

Day 2 Dinner
To Boat Noodles we go!! Ok this one even if the noodles were soooo good, I’d still won’t bother to give a high ranking. Why? Coz they made us wait for ONE HOUR! One hour you know! And I was so hungry and grumpy!! Went in, ordered 10 bowls. 1 bowl is about 3 mouths?  So we ordered half spicy and half non-spicy. Then to me, they were enough but not for Sean and Serene. They wanted more and said that the spicy one was nicer and ordered 10 extra bowls. HAHAHA! In the end, either we ordered wrongly or they sent wrongly, IT WASN’T THE FLAVOUR WE WANTED! Haha but still we managed to finish. One thing that I like about the place was the drinks. They looked a bit scary coz they were colourful but the taste was (y) superb! And partly why I didn’t find the noodles nice was because they had cilantro in it.. I don’t like the smell…. And I also mentioned that my 2 beloved were really accommodating, Serene gave me the meatballs in her bowl so I can enjoy more.. Aiyo.. how can I be so loved??



Day 3 Breakfast
Aunty Sim Wan Tan Mee was our pick. Sean and I went there in our previous KL trip and find that they have the best Wan Than Mee we’ve tasted! I personally don’t really like wan tan mee but this one was da BOMB! I rate 5/5! And to add wan tan with soup, you only need to add 30 cents! What deal is this?!

Day 3 Lunch
We weren’t really hungry so we had sushi from the sushi bar. And I have no comments coz sushi is sushi. Haha!

Day 3 Dinner
Now now now. This is one dinner I HAVE to rave about. We were going back already and decided to have dinner at Ipoh. I say Ipoh you say? TAU GEH CHICKEN! This is the first time I tasted Ipoh’s tau geh (bean sprout)chicken rice. Gosh. ONE WORD. DELICIOUS! We ordered whole chicken and I had koay teow instead of rice. We also ordered a bowl of pork meat balls. The soup was good. Meatballs were great. Chicken was divine. Love every bit of it! We went to OnnKee. I know Lou Wong is more famous and widely publicised, however, according to the feedback from our friends, Onn Kee’s food tastes better. 5/5 AGAIN!


It's me and Mr, Wong

My Christmas gift from Mr. Wong :) 

And here's how I spent the last day of 2014: 





So that trip was the high point of how I ended year 2014. God is forever good!

Hi, 2015! Not gonna ask you to be good to me, but I’m telling you that you ARE gonna be good to me. Not only to me but to my family and loved ones as well! Bring on challenges that will build me, shape me!

I welcome you… (err I’m a bit too late isn’t it? It’s already 22 days of 2015 already hahaha!)


Thank you for reading!

It was like a normal day at work today, actually it was more fun than usual because I was putting up a 'wish' tree which is exactly a Christmas tree. So the whole morning I was at the lobby and setting up the tree. Suddenly, one of my colleagues (there were a few of them there) who were looking at us from afar called my name. As I turned, he said "Sheryn! Sam wanna talk to you." and I asked what is it about and he then said "Sam asked why the hell are you so fat?" and then they laughed. The person who called me was David. And trust me, I don't even know them well at all. I have been working here for about 1 year plus now and the amount of words exchanged can actually be counted. The point is if my bff were to say that to me, I don't mind. If my bf were to say that to me, I actually don't mind. BUT it was them who were almost strangers, whom I don't even talk to who said such hurtful and insensitive words. They thought it was funny. Well no. It wasn't. 

I then stared at them and I was speechless. I let the words ring in my head. I let the emotions swing like madness. I held it in. I went back to the office once the tree was done. Then I sat at my desk feeling like crap. I needed to let out. I really needed to cry. And I couldn't hold back anymore. So I went to the toilet and released like 2 gallons of tears. I was texting my colleague coz she witnessed the whole thing. She then said that she needed to tell our boss as this is justice. And it WAS NOT RIGHT for them to do that at all. So she went ahead to tell our boss with my permission. I went back to office right after. It was the most embarrassing moment where I could not even look straight when I walked. 

Little did I know, someone from the other cubicle heard me crying and informed the human resource dept. So great, now the HR knows. And the thing is they came to the toilet and saw me walking out and called my boss right away. Boss told them everything and they asked if I wanted to report. Of course not la. Not really a serious thing. And in the end the two guys came up and apologize to me. Although I knew they weren't sincere in their apology, I forgive them. Before they left. I told them in my unstable voice, to NEVER say anything like that to a girl anymore. 

So what's the conclusion? Why do I find this post-worthy? 

I believe there are many guys out there who are not careful at all with their choice of words. They may think it's funny, they may think it's nothing and like what the 2 guys came up to me and said "come on lah, we weren't serious", let me tell you, it IS serious. it IS hurtful. I actually told myself to believe that it isn't a big issue and I should just keep quiet and keep it to myself. But again and again my colleague reminded me that they need to learn that they can't do that anymore. Not to me. Not to anyone else! And yes! I am convinced. They need to learn and they need to change. So yes, if anyone has said anything that is really insensitive and hurtful, you should take action.

I am a happy girl now. :)

The past 2 months have been insanely horrible for me. Well, not exactly the whole of 2 months but  almost. I kept getting into accidents. Car accidents, falls, knocks, car problems etc. First was, I knocked someone's car from the back. That was because I was putting on my lipstick on the way to work and my eyes were fixed on the rear mirror, thinking the car in front of me started moving, I drove and knocked her. Thankful that she was a nice and polite lady and we exchanged numbers and then got everything fixed asap. Total cost was RM250. So settled.

Second was, 2 weeks after the car accident, my car tyre punctured. I was rushing to church that Sunday morning and my tyre was already flattened. Got it fixed after a few days with bf's help. Total cost was RM10. Settled.

Third, 2 weeks after the flat tyre, I experienced a fall. went to bf's sister's house, her dog ran out and I chased thinking that she will get hurt by other dogs coz she super tiny. Didn't see a puddle of water (leaked from the ceiling) and I slipped while running and i fell. Hit the left part of my body and got bruised. Left chest was in severe pain but after a few days and med I recovered from the aches. Settled.

Fourth was, on a Sunday morning when I was going to church, I saw a flat tyre. AGAIN!!! You don't know what sorta feelings I had inside. The anger would easily kill 10000 men! So yeah my dad helped me fix this time and found that there was a nail in my tyre. Ok, settled.

Now, fifth, I was driving back from work on a Wednesday night. driving pass my usual route. Suddenly a car from the left junction just decided to turn out. I couldn't brake in time and I went straight to the car. I knocked my chest on the steering wheel, thank God no big injury. But her car was wrecked badly until it couldn't move. mine was also quite bad. The accident caused the entire road to be jam and I was stuck there for more than an hour. This time, it's clearly not my fault at all. I was focused on driving. I did the best I could. If I were to avoid her, I'd go head on with the cars on the opposite lane. So yeah after 3 weeks only managed to send my car to the workshop because of all the procedures. *SIGH*

Yes, I went through a lot and it felt like hell, well at least for me. I was a bit angered that I had to go through these. But come to think of it, I think those experiences could actually help me in the future, I mean next time when things like that happen, I'd know what to do. And apart from this, I made a new friend from my fifth experience! How great is that?!

I think if I wasn't grateful and if I was only questioning God on how He would allow me to go through such situations, I'd probably be very angry inside. But because I was able to see the good in the bad, it's actually okay la, not that bad... However now that my car is in the workshop, (and it will be there for LONG.) my parents had to sacrifice the new car for me to use and they take the old one. Honestly everyday I feel so thankful that my parents are so sacrificial...

See! When I begin to be thankful in bad situations, eventually the situation won't be too bad one lah. So anyone reading this, remember to stay positive, be thankful even when life gives you poop.

Thank you for reading!

I am back after... almost 2 months?

I know I don't appear as a thinker but let me tell you, I am. I think a lot actually. Sometimes too much! Haha!

So yeah, recently I've been thinking about my life a lot like I'm already 24 and I have not achieved much as compared to some of my friends who already own cars, houses, businesses and pay for insurance and stuff. I only pay for my food, petrol, phone bill and some other miscellaneous stuff. I don't even pay for my own shampoo! That's a bit too spoiled isn't it?

The purpose of this post is not to brag about how much of a spoiled child I am but to just be thankful and remind myself to stop complaining...

SO NOW THAT I HAVE SAID WHAT I SAID, I want to pledge (wah so serious eh?) to get myself an insurance plan which also helps me save! Hey! That's a plus point! I NEED TO SAVE SOME CASH! I wanna go travel, buy house, buy car, get married, have kids, ok that's all for now. Haha So I need to start doing something already!

On another note, my dad he asked me if I wanna get myself a new car. O.O Like how does he suppose I can afford a new car???!!! And then it got me thinking... Should I? With my compulsive spending?? Nah. Let me learn to live with my insurance plan first. *peace out*

Thought I shouldn't make a hooha about this but oh well, writing mood kicking in and I have something to write about. Haha. Bear with me!

2 weeks ago some church friends planned to go for a retreat. First to Gerik, Perak then to KL. I couldn't make it with them for the first 2 days coz of work so decided to travel by bus and meet them in KL. I only realised that it was the Raya hols like 4 days before my trip and I haven't booked or bought any ticket yet. I quickly went to Aeroline's website to book. I'm pretty amazed by how they made booking a ticket so easy. Like no fuss at all. And everything was simple. So to my shock, my ticket was the last seat they had for the date and time. And I totally believe this is God's favor. Thank you, Lord!

Dad dropped me at Queensbay Mall, where their pick up point is. They have an office there right at the main road. Checking in was easy too! I just went to the email in my phone, showed them my serial no. got my ticket and I was done in, say 2 mins?  Super fast. However the ticket I bought was supposed to be an 8am bus and they bus came at 8.30am. Still ok la. Not that bad actually..
The moment I stepped into the bus I was already quite surprised at the good upkeep. Coz previously I think I've always taken the cheapest bus available coz was travelling with a bunch of ppl. And also, was a teenager. Haha! So, my seat wad right at the back, right smack in the centre. Fine. I've no problem coz already prepared myself when I saw my seat on the website. One thing I admire most is the screen that has so many movies, songs, video clips stored for me to watch. And better still coz I was alone! No need to feel awkward!
Here's how the screen looks like:




And one more super cool thing. Since I was seated at the centre, my screen can shift one. So I can pull it as close to me as I want! Super thankful! So I watched This Means War and many other random clips. 

Okay. Besides the super cool screen, they have super the cool service I tell you! About 30mins after we've settled down, the bus steward came to deliver sandwiches. Omg. I didn't even expect. Oh before that, he went around giving out headphones too. But I didn't take coz I was already watching something with my earphones. Haha that's like the first thing I did. PLUGGG INN!!! 


So after the sandwiches he came giving me a bottle of mineral water. ?#$?_)@)? Cool. And then he came giving me a piece of blanket!?#%@&#:# I was really cold. So nice. And then he went around asking "coffee, tea or Milo?" Of course I chose coffee. So after a while my coffee came. It was really good white coffee okay! And it helped me warm up. Wahhh Aeroline why u so efficient?!
Ok. So the best part is that I was really comfortable the whole journey. It didn't feel like I was in there for 4-5 hours. Coz I was like so occupied with amazement. Haha! So I had to wait until my friends arrive which will be like 5-6 hours later so I had to hang around wherever the bus dropped me. Right. Before I forget. The drop off is at Corus Hotel, Jalan Ampang which is just opposite KLCC. Besides that there's also another not-so-glam mall, Avenue K. I walked to KLCC with my heavy bag on my back. Looked totally like an explorer. 


And I didn't feel good coz the mall there like so high class and I wasn't like in the right place. So after like 1 hour just walking around finding toilet and the correct exit, I walked out and I kept walking to find Avenue K which I think I belong more there. I just couldn't find. For a moment I was actually scared. It was my first time there leh. So u think I walked about 10 mins then I saw crowds of people looking up and all with either cameras or mobiles on their hands. So I turned around and looked up. Omg!! It's the twin towers!! Ok I know I will sound a bit stupid but I've always wanted to take a selfie with them towers! And I accidentally found them!!! Of course of course I took selfies. But wasn't very successful coz it was so hot I could barely see my screen.


After selfie. Realised I couldn't even see shadow of Avenue K, so I walked back to KLCC. Saw Rolls Royce for the first time. There:


Then I tried another exit. And it was the correct one. So I walked over and I was starving. So I went to have the cheapest meal-Subway sandwich. They have Tandoori Chcken Subway! Yummz!


Oh Ya didn't mention this. I dropped my Note 3 and the screen blacked out. So I had to save money to send it for repair. Sobs. Back to lunch, by far the longest lunch I've had. Haha I sat there alone for so long. Was thinking of what to do besides shopping coz my bag back there was pretty heavy, I thought of manicure. So I searched for one but one of the workers said they don't have a manicure parlour there.. few mins later I stopped in front of a facial and spa place and they also do manicure! Woohoo! So to cut the story really short, manicure was horrible coz I had to teach her how to apply the color. But I appreciate the time spent there coz the lady was quite nice. Cost me RM25. In the end I happy she happy. There the pink one: 


 Just a while after I was done, my friends called and say they're reaching soon to pick me up! Whee! So end of story. It was fun travelling alone. Something I didn't see myself doing. Ok for some you might think omg like that also want to boast? Yes please. I am a very dependant child. So for me to do this is already a huge improvement. Even my mum called and asked me to be careful a million times. As if I'm in a foreign country. Haha! Hope to do this more often though. I enjoy being alone too!

Thank you, Aeroline, if you ever see this. I will recommend this bus my friends next time because of the great experience I had!

Thank you for reading! :)
