for now.

ok.. so today was officially the most hectic day ive had since i started working.. too tired to blog so will just post the most randomest of photos which im sure most of u have never seen. like they say, pictures tell a thousand words so enjoy :)

my two monkeys of brothers playing around. had fun chasing crabs that day. hahaha.. this was at kudat.

this was also ages ago cos i dont play golf now. only driving range ;(

Rain delay during Lexus Cup. Really spoilt the mood of the whole thing.

Food Event 2007 when I was at ATI. This was our final assessment.

Kenix's Bachelorette Night. Girls only night. this was sometime in May i think :)

this was my 20th birthday:)

Lexus Cup Singapore 2006. Got to see all the pro golfers.

Kev with Paula Creamer. He's had the biggest crush on her. hahah.. we had to force him to go and get the autograph cos he was too shy:/

Sentosa Island.

Orchard Rd. Had a blast lah in Singapore.

Jacq, u were in Keningau :(

until i find the mood to blog hope u guys enjoy the pics. too tired this week.. probably will update during the weekend. take care guys :)

sorry:)

Looks wrong kan this picture?? hahaha :)

The two best friends:)

On the way home from work last week. Mount Kinabalu bah dat.

This is my dad's car. I always like the interior of this car and the outside is just as nice:)

sorry for the lack of updates guys:) you know how it is when u start working. Its crazy. Well, my first ever pay in my whole life is drawing nearer and nearer:) I cant wait to get the feeling of kepuasan-ness, you know, knowing how u actually earned that money all by yourself:) Well, that day is coming and I'll sure jot it down here on how it really felt.

Oya, another thing, will be sitting for my JPJ only next month cos thats how long the list is and i cant wait. Cant wait to get my own license and also my own car. Am planning to get a Perodua Viva as my first car. Nothing fancy as I'm thinking practicality here. This also includes how much petrol consumption since im working quite the distance, how much i can afford to pay each month by myself and etc. I like that car so i guess thats all that matters :) will be getting an automatic one straight away and somehow always practicing manual on my dad's cars as well cos i think its really important to keep on knowing how to drive a stick:)

work has been better lately. slowly getting the whole of things and one of them is getting over my malu-ness. Ive always been really shy and quiet and thats what I like about my job. It challenges me from this aspect and its one of those things about myself i really wanna overcome. So this is the best opportunity to do so. I really never expected myself to end up in this line when i was at school and here i am and i like it. sometimes we surprise ourselves:)

had buka puasa at the hotel today with the district officers of tuaran. Tomorrow is yet another buka puasa and this time its with the Yayasan Kebajikan Suria as well as the ketua-ketua kampung. cant wait to see the kids. Love kids:)

Ok, very very sleepy and tired so thats all for now. will very likely update only during the weekends and it will be about the entire week. Till then, good nite! and sweet dreams.

PS: please do not mention Manchester United to me for now. Im kinda of merajuk-ing with them for the way they've started the season. :( will get over it soon tho cos I LOVE THEM! :) just going thru a phase now. hehehe

Jacq (cos I dont really have anyone else to tag! :p)

Thats all for now. Am going to sleep. Good night! :D will blog during the weekend!

ithinkimgettingsick.

SAPP has left the building.

Today, on the 17th September, 2008, Sabah Progressive Party has decided to leave Barisan Nasional and decided to be independent. Was it a good choice?? We'll see, but I knew they were going to leave and let us hope its for the best for Sabah and especially the future well being of Malaysia. Good Night! :)

sigh of relief. Happy Merdeka, Sabah;)

HOW TO WIPE YOUR NOSE BY Chiara :)

First, rub your nose like a crazy person and smile while your doing it:)

Next, look and check what colour is your booger :)

This is the nasty pincher and it hurts when she does it and she's only two!:/

Look at Mui's dumb ass face man. wth.

These are my favourite man. Once you start you can never stop unless you run out:)

Those things they're stuffing in their mouths are what I am in love with and im betting any other kid too. Even YOU!:)

The two monkeys. And trust me, the smaller and younger monkey likes bullying the older monkey.

Yes we are 13 years apart. Don't feel it though. Damn, I'm old :(

OMGosh. Thank God its a holiday tomorrow. HEHEHe. After working extra hours on Saturday, Sunday really didnt seem enough cos we were busy preparing for Moon Cake Festival family dinner at home during the night. This year's dinner was a bit low key and was actually quite nice. Nana was extra hyper yesterday and it was especially scary when she started pinching everyone's face:) then she started pinching me for no reason. But it was all good fun.

Lots of food last night at our house and it was all just good catching up and laughing and playing with Nana all the way. Was damn full but what the heck, it is Moon cake Festival and Independence Day for Sabah on Tuesday, theres always a good reason to celebrate:) Yesterday, I experienced the most annoying thing that can happen in the whole world. In my opinion lah:)

Daddy: Khiun, I ordered crabs for the dinner tonight.
Khiun: Really??!! OMG! Can't wait to dig in tonight lah. **YUMYUM**

In the evening on the way to pick up the crabs from the restaurant.
Lady in the restaurant who's actually kadazan but spoke a bit cacated Mandarin: Lau pan, tui pu chi ahh. Supplier teda bawa oo ketam sini hari ni!

My face literally went pale k when I heard what she said. I was like so psyched the whole day to eat those damn crabs and there was none. Betul2 kapunan oo last nite. Real bad! hahaha. My mood was quite bad for like half an hour because of that. Its not that I'm being a brat or anything but its just that I was really looking forward to it. Im sure you guys know how I feel! :D

Went for mass at Stella Maris and it was actually my first time going there for the morning mass. Had to stand but it wasnt to bad. Thats what you get for being late I guess - a soak under the sun and standing for one hour.

Im really looking forward for the holiday tomorrow for some reason. Really need to sleep in till I puas. Just thinking of the holiday tomorrow makes me happy. HEHEHE.

Things to do tomorrow:
1) Sleep in
2) Catch up with TV!
3) Spend time with Mommy and Daddy
4) Spend time with the little monkeys who are on school holidays as well.
5) Sleep some more if possible cos the next day is another long day at work :(
6) Look for crabs to eat so that i will stop kapunan-ing??
7) To continue with my final assignment report to pass it up as soon as possible.
8) Swim or go to the gym. Will take a big miracle but we'll see:p

We're having a Buka Puasa for all the Sabah Ministers and important people next Monday, so, I'm guessing that invitations will have to be sorted out this Wednesday back at work. Have to remember important names and how they look like!:(

Ok lah, that's all for this post. Wanna catch up and watch How I Met Your Mother now. That show rocks. One of my all time favs.

Oya, wake up Man Utd. You guys played like crap against Liverpool and deserve to lose. But I'm sure they'll do well cos they started even worst off last season and still ended up winning the EPL and Champions League :D They dont call you the best in the world for nothing right? :)

Ok then.. Good night guys. Will update more when there's something to update u guys about. God bless!

exhaustedlytired.

If theres even such a word, that basically sums up how i feel for this whole week. so freaking tired. Tomorrow is an even longer day. Suppose to be half day but theres the monthly medals golf tourney going on so its over time for me tomorrow so i have only Sunday to rest. That also I have to go for my medical check up on Sunday and my last practice for JPJ at Menggatal. Sorry Jacq cant make it out with you this week!:P

I guess next weekend then Jacq:) Cant go out with Miss Nurul Rafeeqa anymore she's not here.. **merajuking** cos she went back so fast. :)

Ok, I'm going to bed now. Will update here again when I'm less tired. Oya, I wanna say this but whoever is reading my blog, thanks for keeping up with my boring life.. I get so jealous when I read other peoples blogs that are so much more entertaining and then when I look at mine I get so depressed:) But I hope you guys will stick with me and if you dont like it dont come here lah as simple as that :)

Ok then.. Off to bed.. Nite2 guys!

ithinkiputonweightbutwhocares.

Just got back from beloved Nenek's 78th Birthday at the family house. It was sort of a High Tea thing cos it started at 4pm. There were lots of food and I forgot to take pictures again. But anyways, it was good cos I got to see so many people that I havent gotten to see in so long especially some of my cousins.

Yup, this is the whole gang minus me. I was up to something in the kitchen.

This is the whole gang at the party. My dad's behind the camera. :)Aunty Laline and her boys. Nabil, Gazzi and Armand:)

Look how many people there were in the house! :D Adam near the cake. He kept on poking it for some reason. HAHAHA.

The Stephens kids minus one. Uncle Donald is at the Philippines. So there's Uncle Mike, Aunty Laline, Uncle Jules, Uncle Johnny, Aunty Asla, Aunty Ophine and Mommy:) And thats Nenek sitting down. :)

Aunty Tips and Nenek. This is Uncle Jules' wife.

So imagine a house full of adults and kids. It was complete noise but all in a good way. Missed having this family gatherings. We havent had one in ages actually. I think the last one was the CNY gathering at my place and that was like in February. So it was nice to see all my aunties, uncles and cousins and especially Nenek. She seemed much better from the last time I saw her. At least she smiles a lot and talks more now. If you didnt know, Nenek has depresssion and therefore has days where she goes through several panic attacks which usually involves the security of the family. She starts worrying about her kids and grandchildren especially when they're not at the house. Nenek is the typical grandmom any grandchild would dream they had because she cares lah and sometimes too much. So when she was in the worst stage of her depression at one point, there were times where she didnt wanna see anybody except family. I remember the times where mommy would drop all the 3 of us that time at the house and Nenek would always make sure that we had fun. She would bring us for a walk in the beach and after that it would surely be Fish and Chips followed by Ice Cream at the Kinabalu Yatch Club.

Chiara and Nenek. She blinked!Frances and Nenek. I dont think Nenek knows where the camera is. HAHAHA :D

And that time when Datuk was there he would follow and go for a walk and yelled when he had to and laughed when he had to. I miss Datuk's laugh. Its so freaking contagious! hahaha. And also how he used to speak Hakka to my dad ever so fluently. I still remember how Datuk used to leave his dentures in a glass in his room and how were so freaked out by that. :DWatching TV. Me, Mui and Kim aka Putut :D

Happy 5th Anniversary, Datuk & HAPPY 78th BIRTHDAY, NENEK!! MWWWWAAAHhhHHHhhh! Love you.

Had prayers last Thursday for Datuk's 5th Anniversary but didnt get to go cos i was working till late that same day. Work again tomorrow and so far so good. Its been almost a week and getting more used to the place. Can't wait till I get my computer at work cos now I just feel lost and they're setting my ID in the laptop so I'll just have to wait for now. Still learning and tomorrow's another busy day as we have to media groups coming in from Japan and KL. Will be doing site inspections and hopefully everything goes smoothly. Last Saturday, I finally went for my QTI exam and I passed. One more step to getting my driving license. Cant wait cos I really dont wanna stay at the quarters at Rasa Ria. I would rather drive from home to work cos its really not that far. Okies, I'm off to bed now. Need my rest for my long day tomorrow. Nurul, take care in KL and make sure you'll try to come back for Raya k?? hehehe.. Jacq, you also take care. Good Night! Mwwwaahhh.

tired.

ok.. so its been only 4 days at rasa ria and im already so tired and stressed out trying to remember all the details abt the resort. hopefully all will continue to go smoothly. the guy that im working with so far in communications, jeremy has been so helpful so far that sometimes i feel im getting in the way:p sometimes i feel like i ask too many questions bah. hahaha.. and i ask also so that i can learn. im sure i'll be ok in the future but im getting abit inpatient. but so far so good:) will update during the weekend when im fresher. i have a driving test tmr so wish me luck! NURUL RAFEEQA AFDUL MUTALIP! make sure u come back to kk for hari raya cos i wanna go to ur hse.. hehehe

anxietyattack.

THAT'S NURUL AND HER SUNDAE! :D

What is she thinking about I wonder? :p

Seriously, I think I'm having a slight anxiety attack due to the gush of emotions thats all coming to me at once. Tomorrow will officially be the first day I start work and I'm so freaking nervous I cant believe myself how nervous I am. Yet I'm excited too dont get me wrong. Went to buy my black shoes tomorrow for work. I know, talk about last minute right??! :D Anyways, I'm really PMSed right now so I was really being a bitch to my whole family just now and as I sit alone in my room now typing this put I feel bad oo. Because they never lose patience with me and I was like a crazy bitch just now. Damn it!

??

Anyhows, I feel like shit oo! One, because of my attitude just now and two because I'm really getting a panic attack this very moment. I mean, tomorrow is when it all starts and its the real deal. No more people trying to teach me what to do and how to do it but to do it based on what I've studied and learned during my time in ATI and also Hyatt.

Jacq's creation :)

Okay, off from the dark and dull stuff. On Saturday, went out with Jacq and Nurul and had a blast and those things that Jacq make bounce will be stuck in my head forever! :) Anyways, met up with Jacq and Nurul at about 1 something at Warisan Square and Center Point was disgustingly full. Went to Fratini's Italian Restaurant to find out that the Pizzas and Pastas are all on 50% discount so lucky us. I had the lasagna which was honestly too salty for me I mean combined with the Cheese and salt it was crazy!

Looks salty right??! :p

I think we sat in Fratini's for like 2 hours plus and the waiter dude started talking to us about Mawi :/ I don't think he knows that he is talking to 3 people that have never been fans of Mawi.

Anyways, don't know why but I got full really fast that day and didn't go for dessert. Nurul had the Ice Cream Sundae i think and Jacq had Crepe with Ice Cream.

Walked around Palm Square and Warisan after having sore butts. Nurul bought herself the Pingu DVD with 14 episodes in it and I can imagine Nurul watching it in the middle of Kuala Lumpur and laughing to herself! :D

I got so jealous when I saw all the DVD collections from my favourite shows such as One Tree Hill, The OC, Friends, Gilmore Girls.. No Money, No Fun!
On the brighter side, One Tree Hill Season 6 and Gossip Girl Season 2 will be premiering tonight in the US and this means that I can download and watch it again :) Happy2 Joy2!

Ok, so after Warisan with Jacq and Nurul, Nurul sent me home and I sat down for awhile. Not long after that headed out again with Kevin and Mui to meet Tim, Lui and Kim at Upperstar Damai. We got there 1st and decided to order first cos we were all so hungry:) I had the Grilled Chicken Chop and Mushroom Soup. I LOVE Upperstar's Mushroom Soup lah! The taste is so....... errrrrgggghhhh! Like Jacq says ORGASM! HAHAHAHAHAA..

Tim, Lui and Limuel (Tim and Lui's friend) got there minutes later and the service sucked. They sat there like for almost half an hour and no one bothered. They even asked for the menu from one of the girls and she didnt even bring it for them after that so they had to go to the counter and make the order.

After lepaking at Upperstar and getting bored, we then decided to move to Up2U. Another hang out place in Damai which I didnt know of. Its like hidden at one of the blocks at the back. Had Shisha and they had a few games so it was fun. Would have prefered if we started from there instead of Upperstar instead:) Headed home around 12 as we were all so tired. We started the night early anyway:D
