Last Saturday, we decided to go somewhere… sometimes, both of us do have this type of urge, just to drive to somewhere, far far away…
So, I suggested Tanjung Sepat… I read about this place, from MAS “Going Places”, this July’s issue, while I went to Bali… well… since I’ve always thought that we’re all very ignorant of places for a short leisure in our own country... we decided to give it a go...
After searching for some information on the internet, we headed for our "excursion" on Saturday...
After nearly 2 hours of driving... Klang --> Banting --> Morib --> Kundang --> Tanjung Sepat...
Upon reaching near Tangjung Sepat area, there's a sign board that says "lover bridge"... nah!! I don't know where it gets its name from... however, it helps to give us some direction...
There're 2 main restaurant there, a smaller one on the outer side, and further inside, there's this "love bridge restaurant"... at first, we actually stepped foot into the "lover bridge restaurant", however, it feels a little bit empty for such a bit restaurant... so, we came out to go to the slightly more "rundown" restaurant next to it... oops... I can't remember the restaurant name...
Ehem... now... what to order?
we called upon the restaurant owner, ask him what to eat... below is the conversation...
it took place with the language medium called "mandarin"... (but I translate it to english)
"boss, what's your recommendation??", said we
"it's up to you, people come here for seafood, anything with seafood," answered him
(as I saw some of the other guests ordered some clams... nice big fat clams)
"can we have the clams in soup??" - done!! that's 1 order
next...
"what type of fish do you have today??", asked my husband...
the boss mentioned some names... and we picked something that we're familiar with, ie. promphret!!
"how do you cook it??", said we...
"normal-steamed, teochew-steamed, thai-steamed...", said the boss...
"what about thai-steamed??", I asked...
"nobody actually go for thai-steamed, usually people opt for the normal-steamed"... said the boss..
"ok, give me teochew-steamed then"... said I, so, the boss took down the 2nd order... @_@
"any vegetable you have??", asked I...
"xxx, yyy, zzz, nnn, mmm, ppp", said the boss...
(at the same time I was planning to pick one not-so-normal vege to be cooked with the not-so-normal style, which I always do, for eg. bean curd sauce with pokchoy!! ^_^V... so, I was thinking... and I missed what he's said)
"sorry, can you please say again??", I asked, and I looked towards my husband... oops... not so good...
so, I picked the conventional vege... ~_~, ya, he looked slightly relieved...
that was the 3rd order...
Then... we're thinking what to order for the 4th dish...
my husband asked me how to say crayfish in mandarin... ya, I can't recall... it's just CRAY-FISH!!!
luckily, the boss who's taking the order manage to figure what we're trying to "try to order"... he said it in hokkien... that rang a bell to my husband... ("hay ko bak", ha!!)
"how do you cook it?", asked I (not again!!!!! hahaha!!)
"gong-bou style!", said the boss...
but then...
"do you do it in sweet and sour?", asked I... *_* (ghee!!)
"nobody does that in this manner", said the boss...
"just give me in sweet and sour style!!", said I...
that's our 4th order...
when the boss left our table..
he looked at me, said, "he warned you!!"...
ya ya ya....
I asked him if HE'll normally order what people suggest to him... nah!!
ok.. then, I'll just have to bear with my OWN choice...
ps: In fact, I never really take the chance to find out what the "lover bridge" is called "lover bridge"... however, sigh... we're just not good at packaging and promoting stories!! ^_^ since the bridge is called the "lover bridge", if I'm the restaurant owner, I'll put some railings at the end of the bridge, and start to tell story like, if couples, or lovers go there, write their name on a padlock, lock the padlock on the railing, their love will be stronger, and well... diplomatically saying, "forever" ^_^... hahaha, the more expensive the padlock is, the more solid your wish will become, isn't it?? ah ha!!! then I can start selling padlock around the corner... come on!! it's good business opportunity ok!!
there you go...
When we returned from Tanjung Sepat... we went to Bkt. Tinggi, Klang... to catch for the second time "The Dark Knight"!! ^_^ Yay!!
and we'd a nice cup of afternoon coffee.. in DOME... ^_~

Where're my rubber Shoes??
Last Wednesday, I went to a Crocs shop... looking for my new pair of shoes... well... something in my shopping pipeline anyway... it's this Suede series from Crocs... look like ballerina's shoes... ^_^
So, I went in... caught the shop assistant's attention... and ask if she can help me to get the right size for me...I wanted coffee colour, or black... so that sometimes, I can't "sneak" them in, by wearing them to work... ghee... ya... coz, it kinda feel good, to break rules sometimes... hehe...
Anyway... while there's no right size for me for the colours that I wanted... there's only RED colour left... so, I asked the shop assistant, if they'll replenish the stocks... her answer is "no"... apparently once the goods are cleared, they'll bring in more new design... ya, I gathered that... same thing happened to the other outlet that I've been checking out... they've never replenished any... so, I decided to cut it short and look no further... I just take whatever that's left for me, so that, I can proceed with the next item in my shopping pipeline... ^_~
Then my eyes started wandering around in the other parts of this Crocs shop, and I pointed to one of those new range of the shoes -- Lexi...The shop assistant told me, "it's new arrival", and I didn't catch correctly what she's just said, as she said it while squatting down meddling shoes, looking for the size that I requested... so, what I heard is..."what? new rubber??!!! yang ini rubber tak sama dengan yang itu rubber ke?" I asked, with full curiosity!!!(I asked if the rubber is different from this new range of design, compared to those older design)She burst into non-stop laugther, looked at me, saying that, "bukan!!! yang ini, new ARRIVAL, bukan new "rubber", semua rubber sama!!"(she said, all the rubber material used is the same)When I heard that, I couldn't stop laughing either... the girl was still laughing while she's clearing up all the different sizes and colours on the floor, and to stop myself from laughing, I asked her to stop... and told her, for a while I really thought, the rubber used can be different from last time, till now... with the new design... as the new design does look slightly better...
Anyway... that evening, I got my new pair of red rubber shoes... ^_^

Mean Mean Meaning... II (Yeah~ it's a SMALL SMALL WORLD)
One fine day, a new family moved into a very quiet and peaceful neighbourhood... where, the community members will take turn to organize gathering, or some group sport events, to get everybody together, to know each other better... well.. it's the same as most of the neighbourhood... peaceful, simple, and more-or-less happy...
and... just like any of the other neighbourhood, in this country... a country where its government does not bother about the safety and security of its fellow citizen... the neighbourhood will have its own community, which has some volunteerily and helpful soul, to help run the daily errands... for the neighbourhood... AND as you know.. it costs some money... where willing households will pay their shares, when they see the value...
for the security, for the functions that they may organise, and etc....
peaceful and quiet neighbourhood...
until this one fine day, the family moved in...
first highlight of this family... ie, the owner... Mr. X,
Oh! his name card's full of TITLES...!!! ah... you'll be surprised to know that there're people who're obsessed with TITLES!!!
TITLES!! TITLES!!! TITLES!!!
("what do you mean by 'full of titles? and you do not know what they're for?", "it's those name cards with lines and lines of different titles, for eg. XXX consultant, YYY manager, ZZZ director, not that you don't know what the titles are for, just that, you don't know why they co-exist in the same name card")
second highlight~~~
upon moving in to this neighbourhood... according to the usual courtesy, the community members approach this new family... share with them of the community rules and regulation, and the membership fees... for all the miscellaneous charges and of course, the security guards and the streets maintenance... etc.
the next thing that the community members got IS~~~~~
LENGTHY LONG NASTY email from Mr. X, pointing out to them line by line, of the T&L, which is not correct, which is irrelevant, which one is SO incorrect that he, Mr. X can sue them - the community committee, bla bla bla...
and Mr. X send this long nasty email to everybody in the community... and there it started the chain effect, where emails flying around among the neighbourhood... seeing this Star-Shine Mr. X, screwing people around the neighbourhood, as if he's the ONLY SMART and knowledgeable person left on this planet...
The first target, was the poor secretary... (for all you know, since it's volunteerity job, she may be just a normal and simple housewife~~~)
.....
slowly there're many emails flying around... disturbing the peace of this neighbourhood...
AHA~~!!! now we (my poor colleague and me) finally understand... why is all these similar thing, happening in our work place...
I like what K said about the whole thing, when she heard our sad and frustrating story, and while she's checking out on them... she said this "huh!! she doesn't know who she's messing with!!", well... she said it in a very cute and innocent way... ^_^V
How K wrapped up her "news" to us is...
she's lots of kids from the neighbourhood, who'll always come to her and update her of the happenings of the day, in the neighbourhood... ^_^
then... she'll update us, if there's more interesting things happen...
AND... for me to wrap up my story... which I'm already tired of telling... is...
(mm... this morning, I'd another chat with my boss, and tomorrow, I'll want to have a final chat with her)
I've made my decision...
based on a few simple reason... cos, "i'm a simple person - denny crane"
1. Life's short, and you work >10 hours a day, 5 days a week, in the office, Life's precious, why sacrifice the essense of life, to put up with crap??
2. Crap is crap, putting up with it, or ignoring it.. yes, save us the trouble to face the reality, and the ugliness of truth, or to get into more trouble... BUT, crap is still crap, isn't it?? the longer we put up with it, the more we condone such behaviour...
^_^
you see... the point is... I don't need much point to decide...
but my boss has given too many points (and still many to go) to defend such a person...
if she's not tired, I am...

Mean Mean Meaning..
OK, I know what I'm going to expose is quite mean... however, I can't stop feeling the irony of the whole thing...and all the events happened just too closely one by one...
all in all, to tell you that... the world is scarily small... VERY SMALL...
else... you really do not know who you're messing with...
OK... there you go... (I'll try to put it in a more chronological order)
Our interesting colleague was shifting house, quite a while ago, while I was not in town...
obviously she tried to lure my other colleague to ask her more, regarding her new house... bla bla bla..
this other colleague... being blur (but not with her job) most of the time, can't remember much of the location of the house... except one word PXXXXXX ^_^
When I got back, and during a chat, she mentioned to me of the location, immediately I said, that's the same place as where my darling K (a very cute charming small-size lady) lives... I went to her house to kinda celebrate the 15th of Chinese New Year, where she cooked 2 HUGE pot of bubur-cacar, which... all turned bad coz nobody wanted to eat... hahahaha!!
OK, back to the story..
I told my colleague, it's the same place, P.H. and in the whole klang valley, there aren't many names with this PXXXXXX!!
One fine afternoon, while we're having our casual chitchat over the lunch.. with my colleague, and my darling K... and another girl... K mentioned that, my very interesting colleague is not the type who can be real friend, she said, you just feel it, cos, from a casual conversation with her, one can feel that, she's always defensive, if not offensive... it struck her, when the very interesting colleague tried to lure everybody to ask her about her new house... but since she's mentioned she's just moved house... so, K asked a very genuine by-default question, "where?"... AND~~~ the very interesting colleague said, "just somewhere~~"
@_@
So, now, we all figured out, K and the interesting colleague are actually in the same neighbourhood now... K said she'll go check it out... cos, K's pretty active in the neighbourhood community... the hint is... her car registration number... ^_^
That evening... while I thought K should be busy clearing up mess and damage that the previous account manager left for her for one account...
K called me around 21:00... excitedly, she told me...
she knows which house the very interesting colleague stays in... she asked me to confirm with the registration number... I really cannot remember, so, I give her another hint... which is, there's another car, of a different model, also sharing ONE same alphabet in its car registration number... I give her the model, the colour... and the KEY ALPHABET... bingo!!!
it's a small small small small world... and it's scary...
K told me, she's interesting story to tell me regarding THIS family...
... to be continued
How to deal with 2-face colleague whose mouth is full of crap!!?
I am really frustrated lately…
So, like some people, who’ll seek for advice from friends, or some from horoscope or from family members…
I tried the Yahoo! Answers…
Well… maybe because I do spend plenty of time online…
(haha, I’m like the “fujoshi”, female version of “otaku”)
I posted the above question online… with the description below:-
I have a colleague who's so 2-face, she's nice and suck up to the management, but she bullies peers, like me, like the others, when you confront her, she'll first denied everything she's said and if it doesn't work, she'll start crying and tell you that, after working for so many years, this is the first time she feel so sad. But, she lies constantly in front of boss, for eg. she likes to eavesdrop, likes to peep into other's work, likes to mind other's business, but if there's another 3rd or 4th party around, she'll deny all these and say, she's very professional and do not mind other's business.
In addition to that, she constantly boast of her own capability, but when problem arise, she keeps quiet and refuse to say anything, as she's scared that she'll be blamed
she puts words into others mouth to scold another person, for eg. she'll tell the public, A said B is stupid and lousy, and in fact, these are her own words, she boss others to do the work so if something wrong, she's safe
The interesting thing is… I actually get quite a good number of “advice”, I mean, a genuine one…
Ah… I know… I’m not alone…
Below are the answers, and the first one is what I “voted” as the best answer…
A1: I do my job and pretend they do not exit. I am careful never to say anything I do not want repeated and in a subtle way, I let them know they are not fooling me with their BS.
Let her cry and do not give in to her or feel sorry for her. That is her method of getting out of trouble. It sound like she is a pathological liar and you can never beat those people at their games because they will lie no matter what.
They act like that to get attention, so ignoring them is the best punishment you can give me. Just pretend you do not care. I would not even bother to bring up something they say. I would act like I did not know anything. I would just speak to them like to say hello and that would be it. They hate to be ignored. They will keep digging the hole deeper trying to get your attention but eventually they are in over their heads.
A2: Avoid this person as much as possible. There are more of them out there than one would like to think...just part of life. These people usually "hang themselves," if you know what I mean. People who lie constantly, for example, eventually spin a web so complicated that even they can't remember what they've said and this ends up getting them in trouble. I wouldn't do anything...just pay attention to YOUR morals and YOUR code of conduct and leave the creep alone.
A3: I know exactly how you feel! This past year, I endured the same type of treatment from a coworker. I don’t need to go into a lengthy description of her behavior –I will just say that she is poison. I tried everything to make her… like me, respect me, and stop treating me badly, …and to stop taking credit for work she did not do (I was livid that others seemed to be fooled by her) until one day it all just ‘clicked.’
The answer was to simply give her no more notice than the …passing clouds in the sky.
The opposite of love is not hate, but rather indifference. I learned to be polite; if she looked in my direction; I would smile (slightly) and go on about my daily responsibilities. I know this sounds like a reaction to her behavior, like one who feigns not caring, but my indifference is sincere, I really, really do not care about her or her life. I no longer worry myself about her ‘show-boating’ attention seeking, and the worst of all, being given credit and respect that I knew she did not deserve. I learned that I could not control these things, and that any other person (who was good of heart) saw her manipulative personality.
So, my advice is for you to carefully think this through –let her live her life as she sees fit and don’t take it personally. Focus on what is important in your life. Begin a new hobby, contact an old friend, plan a trip -anything to make You happy. <<
You really don’t need anyone else’s existence to interfere with your own goals and dreams and life fulfillment. :)

World without Thieves...
I'm not sure if people still remember this show, starred by Rene Liu, and Andy Lau, with a few others famous Chinese actors/actresses, such as Ge You, and Li Bing Bing...
It's a simple story... though I really don't like Andy Lau, and I think that, he's TRYING VERY HARD to play cool!! (see... there's always a difference between learnt-skill and talence, just like Andy vs. Tony Leung...) and I'm also trying very hard, not to look at him, but only my Rene Liu...
Anyway, it's a simple story... it's basically just about a kid from the village, went to town, sold something, trying to bring the money back, and he's this belief that, there's no thief existing in this world, no thief, no bad people... the world is beautiful...
and he somehow shared this idea with Andy-Rene couple, who're the husband-wife thief couple...
for some reason that I cannot remember anymore, Andy was trying to be nice for once... so, he wanted to "fulfill" the dream of the kid that, This is a world, without thieves...
The story went on with all the tricks between Andy-Rene vs. the famous gang of thieves, one trying to stop the other thieves from stealing, and the gang of thieves, trying to steal the money from the kid...
anyway... why am I talking about "world without thieves" the movie?? ^_^ arrgh... it's a sudden thought... as I was thinking, yes, world will be peaceful and beautiful, if world is without XXX... mm... something...
and sometimes... I do wonder, do you want to live, believing that, world is without thieves? or learning that, world IS with thieves?? which one??
... if the world IS with thieves... I may appreciate the moment of lie... white lie... to keep my "memory" clean... however, when time goes by... though truth hurts, however... that's what makes people grow up...

Paying to stay dumb
Today I came across an article about students (most IT-related) who "outsource" their work (even complete dissertations) to India and Romania. Students contract their work to the lowest bidder.Question: who are the smartest? The ones who try to pay as little as possible to not getting educated? Or the ones who get payed a little while enhancing their skills?
Question 2: who will eventually rule the world? The ones that build skills or the ones that leave the opportunity to learn?
How stupid can you be!
