HappyBirthday

Hello everyone.

Today marked the 8th years journey of typing the boring life of me. I still remembered the first day starting this blog with passion and I will post whatever moments in this blog. Time goes by, less entries uploaded and passionate goes down. Nah! I don't blog much these few years (probably 3 years? When I started my job) because thing got really boring. I have less gathering and travel.

Besides that, I was really busy and tend to forget about typing out some travelog after travelled months ago. Passionate again goes down for typing out this. Sorry guys!

However, I was the only one who still type something in (although this was not really interesting nah!), unlike most of my friends who already gave up since 2 years back. I remembered how we will read each other blog while enhancing our own blogging skill (university life is more relaxing so we can do so lol) and change our wallpaper every now and then. We will search the cheapo way which is taken from other source (take ok? Not steal!). I always search for pink, hence this is why yuncheepedia (my friend's past blog) named my blog as pinkaholiclydia after helping me to change my wallpaper. This is why I still use the same name until now lol.

Speaking about passionate, passionate means showing or caused by strong feelings or strong belief. I believe passionate will go down when I'm no longer as chill as last time. I wanted to blog so much, but when work came, I tend to leave it aside and finish my work. After that, good bye blogging because i rather have a nap! Life! Lol.

Hey! I sound so pathetic sigh! Nope! My life still goes on. There is alot of fun moment throughout the years such as travelling and gathering (less). Those were moments when I forgot to blog about. I wish I could do it again now.

So now, I'll blog about my birthday celebration with the Tomo. Haha! So random right?

My birthday was yesterday, 17 December, and I'm having birthday celebration with Tomo on 3rd December which is on Shin's wedding day.

That day was also the day we had our present exchanged.

This year was early because everyone was way too busy on Christmas day. This year we go by this sequence me<>Ting and Shin>>Bee>>Jen>>Shin

The sequence was slightly surprising. And the funniest thing is that me and Ting were wrapping our present TOGETHER!!! Both of us were pretending not giving each other all the time when we were wrapping our gift lol! We laughed non stop after knowing the presents were for both of us lol.

The only birthday cake of the year. Thank you so much.

I was really surprise with the cake actually. When we planned to go Shin's house after the wedding, i was "rejected" by Jen for sitting her car. I got really confused because she was like why wanna sit my car? You sit shin's car lah. Lol! Poor acting skill man. My thought was she is the one who planned to get a cake for my birthday lah so she doesn't want me to sit her car bla bla bla lah. Then I smelled of fried chicken when I was in her car, and she explained that was from outside and I BELIEVED ok!

When they presented the cake, I was told that the cake was in the car for the whole day and Jen  was the one who took out the cake. WHAT?

Lol!

 Presents and souvenir from Taiwan, Japan and Bali yo!

This is what additional gift we always had when we were having exchange gift. Lol

 #patternmorethanbadminton

Thanks to Jun Neng (Nan) for those pictures. I think he damn annoyed by all of us already because we kept teased him so much. HAHAHA!

Sorry Shin's didi. Hahaha!

 We don't really drink the red wine but must pattern abit to show that we did drink ok.

#tomo5achi #alwayspattern

Blue xmas wrapping - Shin's

Light blue wrapping - Bee's

Green wrapping - Jen's

White with pattern red and silver - mine

Triangle - Ting's

Love is the air! Haha!!

Thank you for all the wishes and thanks Tomo for the celebration. #over10yearsfriendship still go on...

Happy birthday to me and this blog yo! Will try my best to blog everything in my life. Thank you so much to let me release stress while typing out all these.

Kamsahamida!

Christmas is around the corner

Hello everyone!

Christmas is coming soon!!!

I always love christmas althought I am not Christian or Catholic. Things that I love about Christmas is...

1. Official public holiday for ALL

As you know, Malaysia is a multinational country, hence we have the most public holidays as compared to others. Christmas is one of the most lovely public holiday that I love the most, because weather is more cooler, decoration is more colourful and more lighting than Chinese New Year. Basically just more romantic lol!

I used to decorate the house with a tree but is not going to happen this year because we will be having family Christmas party at uncle's house, Puchong. Gonna decorate nicely there. Sis planned to bring the small christmas tree over tomorrow. #eggcited

2. PRESENT! PRESENT! PRESENT!

Yes. Christmas is a festive of giving. Every year, I will have a exchange present with my family and tomo5achi, and this year the tradition goes on...

I have done present exchange with tomo last week, and we were early this year due to timing differences between me and tomo. #malaysiaandsingaporetimingdifferent #specialday

I got a SD card from Ting who bought it at Lazada #efficientpurchadeviaonline and Ting got my present ftom Lazada too lol.

Ps: will blog more about it in the next post. I hope I will remember to blog it. Hehe

Besides that, family exchange present will held on Christmas eve, planned to have BBQ party at uncle's house and present settled. I just hope it will not rain that day. #fingercross

3. Weather is cooler

I don't know why, but it seems that Christmas has the coldest weather throughout the year. Proven! Because is raining cats and dogs outside while I'm typing this indoor.

Is about 27°c now. Don't judge please, Malaysia don't really have such low °c before, so you know what I meant! Cold!!!

I wore shorts with blanket, literally BLANKET while watching tv at living room now.

Yes. I used literally which it might pissed someone else. Haha!

Oh ya. You know that there is one youtuber from western ( sorry, don't know from where) make a video regarding the word "literally" and he pissed off while other party kept using that word. Lol! Just a story lolllll..

Off break and continue the story.

So i have nothing to elaborate about cold now. Just COLD! I need BBQ or something hot!

4. Romantic

Seems that this is a season of romance. While I'm scrolling my facebook, there are few couples who propose and got a yes these few days. <3 p="">
Lol...

I have nothing to say about this. Off topic haha!

5. Just a wrap of the year!

This is a wrap of the year. After this, another year is coming and is going to be another routine of life. Face challenges, stress, happy, positive and some negative, success and etc etc. All these will come to an ending with love and joy of Christmas every year. #joyfulfestiveever

And is a wrap for this entry!

Ps: is gonna be a great year ahead.

RANDOM| boring life

Hello everyone.

I am back!

After such long hiatus, I finally back on track  (hope so). I still figuring how to blog in an efficient way, laptop or phone. mmmm..

During the hiatus period, there are few events happening around me, from wedding helper to travel to work load. Thing changed a lot, get new friends and being workaholic.

1. Wedding helper

Being wedding helper twice in 2 months time, and we declared that we are the best helper ever. From registration to ang Pau security to money counting speed, all in in less than 3 hours. lol.

2. Planning to leave the firm

Yeap. This was a plan since many weeks ago, the going concern issue. Thing happened too quickly that I feel I need a move and so coincidence that my friend agreed to send in my resume. Hence, that's the plan, but in the end there was no vacancy left. Then I forced to stay again. I hope everything happened for a reason and I don't see now.

3. travel

I neither travel overseas nor local with close friend and family this year. Kinda disappointed. However, it won't stop me from travelling tho. I went to Langkawi with sis'said friends two weeks before our department trip to clubmed.

Both trips is the best throughout the year (although is only local). During those trips, I got to understand and know a real person is, and I personally think that some of them aren't that hash. Before the trip, I was worried that some of them aren't my type (in the sense that we don't have anything in common), but don't judge a book by its cover. Do not misjudge others by their look or act inow short term, they might be good in long run or someday.

I felt horrible when I misjudge one of the sis'said friend. She wasn't that bad actually so mmm.. lesson learned.

Clubmed trip was awesome. I learned a lot of new activity that I wasn't great at last time. First time kayaking, zen pool, sailing  and etc. It was really a great trip, relax and fun. I would go there again next time.

4. Being lazy

Just being lazy throughout the time. Busy life make me laziest when come to personal life. I personally feel that I do not spend more precious time to do some meaningful thing instead being lazy laying at the bed for whole day.

What can I do when I have free time?

I have an idea of doing some business but pleaseeeeeeeee I need some business concept. I feel I want to do something meaningful business trading but the ideas just stuck in my brain so how not workable.

Should I or not? I want to start blogging all over again but the ideas always stuck in my mind and when I start the page, all the words gone by the wind. I'm too old to remember every single words in my mind nowadays. Walnut in need!!!!

5. workload!

Work work work...

It wouldn't end until I got out of there and get a new job. BUT what should I do next? That's always stop me from thinking now.

Work life balance ?

Why can't we? I always feel I need work life balance but I just don't understand why my boss always said in such a way that we shouldn't have work life balance. I just don't understand.

Being work life balance make my life better I guess. I'm sick of working nowadays, I feel I can't finish all my works these days.  From a to z, everything just being too much. Oh no. I'm spreading negativity, damn! I guess that is why people always always say laws of attraction works when you are positive. Its hard but I will try no matter how.

Well, I guess these are the top 5 ofor big event happened during the hiatus period. I will blog more next time and I mean it.

Will try to at least once in a week.

Now back to nap time. PS: slept at 2am last night and woke up damn early just for breakfast. *yawn*

August revoir! 

Random| The Secret

Hello everyone.

I yet to blog anything since the last entry.

Well, life is not as interesting as last time, more "me" time and free time to chill out with friends and family. What I meant is I was stuck in my work all the time since the first day I started work.

"Don't FACEBOOK your trouble, FACE it"

I know the theory but thing are keep weird these days, and I got really frustrated and wrote something in my dayre. Oh well, I face it sometimes but hide most of the time. For example, I don't talk about my exam for the last two sitting and I am starting to talk about since I HAD PASS MY EXAM LAST FRIDAY!

You're right! I am gonna blog about this today.

I bet you all know I had failed this particular paper since a year back, and I truly cannot accept for the past few sitting and cried (done all kind of ridiculous thing just to forget about it, like my friend does when she break up with her BF, sound so pathetic except I cried because of exam and not BF LOL), do not let anyone to mention about it and tomo always avoid thing like how's your exam? Jia you in your exam and etc. They just simply know I would sad no matter how they console or ask about, silent always ease me.

Then again, I felt sorry to them, they are stressful and they just control themselves not to ask any single question regarding exam. I am glad I have #tomo5achi in my life. Thank you and sorry for everything that you girls had done to me, I am glad!

Location: McDonalds, for April babies, 24th birthday! When I failed the first time that year.

She is the first person who knew I pass my exam, that's my mom. I knew she was very worried when I was stressful about my result and exams... She doesn't mention anything that happened the last few sitting, not even my close relatives. She would backed up everything for me when I am having study leave in my hometown, she told everyone I am having long annual leave instead of study leave so that other wouldn't ask so much about it. Thank you for so thoughtful and I know you want me to be a better person, I am trying to... and I will!

So, the exam result was out at 9am on last Friday (14 Oct 2016), I was very nervous since the day before, couldn't stop praying and wishing I pass my exam.

I used the Secret method to trust myself on this, wrote "thank you for passing MAAF" x10 just to ease myself. I believe in law of attraction so do the universe do in return. When you believe, you will get what you wish for, and do not have any doubtful feeling when you are using this method.

Believe make everything come true.

After I wrote that particular line, I off my laptop and had a nice sleep the day before. The first thing I reached office, I on my laptop and email. WOW! The result right after I reach office. I was so damn nervous (can you imagine how nervous I am after failing for so many times), and started to pray for it. Vanessa, my friend was right besides me when I look at the list of passing name, I slowly scroll to the letter "K" and TADA that's was me! I double confirmed with Vanessa again and again so that it is true.

Is true that I had pass my exam, and through this I believe that whenever we believe something and make a move, miracle will happen. I believe in passing this paper, so do the result shown. PASS!

I will write more on the Secret book after I finish reading it.

"I am sorry, please forgive, Thank you, I love you"

The power line is the Secret.

Hokkaido| Sapporo Fish market

Day 2 of our trip to Sapporo.

The weather was great and we do some exercise around the area. When I said exercise mean walk around in their residential area.

 The weather was just perfect for some walk and I'm impress with their cleanliness, no rubbish bag outside their house at all. Mostly we have a rubbish bin outside of our house then we throw whatever things inside there and wait for rubbish collector to come and collect on cretain day.

But in Japan is totally different! Their rubbish collection system is very strictly and they have rubbish collector schedule on thing to be collected such as recycle and non recycle. Their non recycle also need to be divided into combustible or non-combustible, very confusing. Whenever I tried to throw something, I would stand there for hours just to figure out which rubbish bin I should throw in. Sometimes I just feel like I don't want to do this anymore, just throw all this when I'm home (I mean Malaysia coz Japanese need to divide their own rubbish in there home too =___=).

 Other than their rubbish throwing system, everything was so great there. I am like wow! Their house is soo cuteeee (I kinda Sau gu - person who doesn't know a lot of things - at there), why their house looks like a box? Why this and that.

 Every house got their surname on it. I guess Japan is very safe for living. Lol.

 Another thing that impress me is their farming skill. I can see lots of flowers were planted like this in every houses. Why they so creative one? I don't need to go ton Furano already.

The weather is super nice that day. Every picture is just like boom. 

After some walk, we bathed and headed to the fish market. They said this is thespecially infamous fish market in Sapporo city, so yeah if you are interested, Google yourself. Lol!

I'm a bad travel writer I know. Tee Hee

 They sell crab everywhere, and the price is cheap as compared to others.

The most important is that they are fresh!!

 Live!

 Frozen but still very fresh.

 The fish market is goddamn clean, you will never see such a fish market in Malaysia I bet you.

No single water leak out from the container and no slippery floor at all. Everything is so clean and DRY!

 And you can taste some of the freshest products there as well. This is KunBu, seaweed for the seaweed soup. It tastes superb and I bought one packagelse home just for trying. So freaking sweet!

We went upstairs for their restaurant. And you know what? SASHIMI in the morning is a BOOM. Never in my life had such awesome breakfast, WHT a luxury life I had.

 Sashimi platter for a try.

 Live squid.

It so fresh and tender!

 My sashimi rice 3200 yen

The portion was freaking damn big and the seafood is sooooo fresh. Every single sashimi is so awesome.

Look at the Uni and Ikura!!! The sweetness and is texture is sooooo goooooddd. I can have 100 bowls of this everyday without regret. Basically everything in my bowl is a BOOM!

 Ikura and salmon rice. 1630 yen

 Uni and ikura rice 3100 yen

I should order this that day because the bowl is much more smaller than the one I had and uni!!

 2500 yen.

Tuna belly ( if not mistaken)

 Some part of tuna 2500 yen.

But this is soo nice!!! I love it but I was too full that time so I had only one of it.

Too bad.

 After breakfast, we walked around the place and I found this, the post office- my every trip must go place. I posted my postcards and here we go for another destination.

The fish market is such as boom.

This is a place for people who want to visit Sapporo. You MUST go coz the seafood is much more cheaper and fresher than others.

Just go and grab some seafood and eat it, but just order whatever that is within your pocket lah. If not you need to work with them for a compensation ( haha! Just kidding, I don't know the punishment lah) or go to the jail maybe. Lol!

We spent around RM900 for that particular meal so if you think I'd expensive, go for sharing and I bet you all will be very satisfy with only small portion.

Anyway that's my second day breakfast in Sapporo. Will update Otaru trip in next entry.

Sayonara!

TRAVEL| Sapporo, Hokkaido

Hello everyone, 

I think most of you think that I have gave up blogging especially my friend datou aka seawhysea. Yeah, I kinda stop blogging after working life but nope, I never give up blogging until today. 

I just couldn't find a perfect time to sit down and type out a post peacefully with a laptop. Laptop died two years back and yet to get a replacement now, so every post from 2014 onward was came from my hand phone. Just bare with me all the typo, Grammer mistake and etc. Is hard to reread back with hand phone.

Oh well, I'm now gonna write about my trip to Sapporo, Hokkaido few months back. I finally got to lay down and type out this blog post before Monday blue hit me. 

Had night flight to Sapporo on Friday, and what I still remember is that the flight was so empty until all of us got to have 3 seats all by ourselves, great moments ever. 

Slept the whole row all by myself is blissful and I got to see sunrise on the airplane. 

*fed up because I couldn't upload the sunrise picture I took on the airplane arghh!* Just trust me that the sunrise is awesome. 

Touched down Sapporo at 8 in the morning and had the very first breakfast - Yogult drink in Japan. Waited the taxi to pick us up and here we started our journey, get our car and vrooommm..

First stop - the first proper meal in Sapporo, WAGYU!

 This is the famous wagyu shop in Sapporo as what they told me. At first I doubted on the so called famous wagyu will impress me as I'm not a beef eater. I don't eat beef for whole life (try is a consider beef eater, please.)

By the way, the weather just not in a good mood when we touched down. I guess we always bring rain to the country, and Japanese should thanks us for bringing so much rain that day, just kidding.

Very authentic Japanese restaurant with very kind and friendly lady boss/owner.

Japanese is very polite in term of serving and talking to others.

Off topic: there is one time when I was on the road and accidentally bang a middle-aged lady in one of their shopping mall. I was very panic and kept say "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" and you know what she also apologise to me at the same time. I stun and feel so nice that even though I was wrong at the first place, they will make u feel that you are not wrong. I love them so much and thank you for that middle-aged lady for not making me feel bad at all.

So, we ordered a couple of meat, beef, pork and lamb. And to be honest, I hold back for beef.

Pork belly for me as I'm not a beef eater.

With pumpkin and potatoes for grill.

Wagyu beef. Please don't ask me which part is all this because I only know I like the thick one the most. Hahahaha!

On grill and everyone was like come! Must take this picture of grill part. Gosh I'm drooling now.

The 500g wagyu beef for 8000 yen if not mistaken. And they told me that the best part was the fats, ithe dissolve in their mouth nicely.

I was like omg, are you sure about that? I don't eat any animal fats such as when I only eat the meat part of cha siew instead of the whole Thing, so it makes me eat damn slow everytime. Hence I hold back when I saw this.

Their backyard with duckling and birds makes a great pictures.

Some red leave that got my attention

This is the most expensive meal I ever had in my trip, RM500 to RM600 for 4. Emm..not a budget one.

Lol..

On our way to Furano, we stopped by for toilet break at a melon shop.

FYI, everyone in Furano sell their signature melon.

And everyone had a beautiful flower farm all by their own. Why so nice one?

If I'm Japanese I would like to stay in Furano than Tokyo.

But the weather just meh...

Melon for the tourist and is freaking expensive. I wonder how they survive in Japan haha! But everything in Japan are high quality, even their fruits are sweeter than others.

Their corn is sweet..

Melon is sweet..

Even toilet also had nicer smell than others, why Malaysia don't have toiletlike that. Lol..

After that we headed to the Furano farm for tourist

Melon products are all over the places, from melon cake to pudding to ice cream to bread.

What you can think of is all here.

The melon puff that is just so-so for me.

Their famous flower farm.

The rain doesn't ruined my mood at all. Flower to flower..red yellow green purple..

This is what it supposed to look like when the weather is good.  I just snap a picture of others and claimed is mine. Noleh, this is just to show you how it looks like when is sunny day.


Ps: this is a picture from the flower gallery.

The purple motor for Jen. Lol

Took this picture just to show it will be a great picture.

Drove another hour just for this flower farm.

Less people better flower for picture.

And have this bear make of wheat grass.

You can sit here if there is no rain.

Small sunflower just to cheer us up.

As you can see the flowers are blooming so beautifully even with a bad weather.

I'm so glad!

#patternmorethanbadminton

Panaroma shot

The bell that everyone rang it without a reason. Lol! I was taking the picture above when one of them secretly rang this freaking bell. I nearly "die" of shock, and all of them laughed non stop after that. So to revenge, I wanted to ring this bell but end up more laughter coz I couldn't ring the bell properly. Lol! Embarrassed to the max!

Everything is in purple, and this is what I taken for Jen as a souvenir lol.

First day in Sapporo was kinda fun although we got the most terrible weather and we didn't get to visit the blue pond due to road block.

Overall, four star for the first day in Sapporo and I think the most fun day through the trip lol. Natural scenery is always my favourite I must say, because I'm not a town person haha!

Anyway, second entry will talk about my second day which is more on town area and foodie!

Stay tuned and bye.
