Back From Raya Holiday

I'm back from my one week long holiday, and it was like a few blinks! Everything went well as planned, I did actually spent most of my time eating at Melaka with AR and her family. Chicken rice ball, sate celup, mee siam, chendol, jelly mooncake, crabs cooked with cheese, fried fish and… I think that’s all for those worth mentioning.

And after eating so many good food at Melaka, I went back to Ipoh as planned and spent most of my time at home. I think I only went out twice within the five days, once to send my car for service and the second time was to buy mooncake for AR. Oh yah, I also went jogging twice and other than that, I ate and read my whole week away.

Today is my first day at work after the long break and thank goodness everything went well. I was a little paranoid that I'll be flooded with issues but luckily it didn’t turn out that way. Even the new guy who has just joined us doesn’t look that unusual but KM doesn’t seem to have any good impression on him. Maybe it’s still early to tell, will know.

My One Week Long Holiday :D

Yesterday was officially the first day of my one week long holiday! And I'm so freaking happy now because I can finally relax and keep away from my work temporarily. KM took his one week leave last month and he said it was so boring at home doing nothing but I can guarantee it won’t happen to me! Never! Because slacking at home is one of the things that I enjoy doing :D

Ok how am I going to spend my precious one week holiday? Well in a few hours time, I will drive to Melaka with AR and stay there until Tuesday to savor all the food that I can get. I'll come back to KL on Tuesday night and will travel back to Ipoh the next morning to spend quality time with my family. I will probably play computer games, watch movies, indulge myself with food, lying on the floor in the hot afternoon, and READ THE LOST SYMBOL!

Yes I've bought The Lost Symbol and have already finished more than a hundred pages. Will finish it next week and write a review here. Ciao~

Property Hunting at Puchong

I was hunting for property online on Wednesday in the office while waiting for AR to dine together and I bookmarked a few suitable ones to view later. I SMS-ed one of the agent at Puchong yesterday and she phoned me back a few minutes later. I didn’t SMS her with my own phone actually but was using the free iProperty SMS services to do that. I was like wow, this is so efficient and I made an appointment with her today to view the unit

I surveyed the area before meeting the agent earlier and I wasn’t impressed with the place actually. And finally when she gave me the address of the unit, I found out that it wasn’t really my type but I went in to look around with her anyway. Although it was a let down but I will take it as an experience, and I'm sure I'll find my dream house sooner or later :D

I did the same thing to another agent, I SMS-ed her and just like the first one, she phoned me back within minutes! But her units are not suitable for me in the moment, and I started to have the feeling that all property agents are very efficient until I made the third SMS and… the third agent didn’t call me. Haha…

Counting Down to The Lost Symbol

I'm going to finish Stone Cold very soon and The Lost Symbol is next! Yes this 5th book from Dan Brown is coming out this month on the 15th and I'm pretty excited about it! Ok maybe besides the fact that only hardcover is available for around RM100.00. Anyway, I think I'm going to get that one instead of waiting for paperback which I think might be available half a year later. So a hundred bucks for a fiction should be my most expensive purchase so far! Counting down to the 15th…

Summary of my Month

Back Payment module had passed in the beginning of the week actually, just that I was busy enjoying myself these few days before spending time to write this here hehe. The week was good, quite relaxing compared with the one before. Ok here is a post to catch up what I've been doing these few weeks since Back Payment struck me.

Watched District 9 and it sucks big time. The camera was shaky, I hate movies with intentionally shaking camera because it’s giving me nausea and this is also the reason why I didn’t give Cloverfield a chance. The plot was also simple and predictable, come to think about it I couldn’t seem to find anything enjoyable in the whole one and a half hour

Watched UP and it was good, although not as good as other Pixar’s masterpieces. Maybe because I still can't get over the coolness of Wall-E. After watching so many of them, it comes to the conclusion that Pixar always makes good animation and I'm gonna watch whatever they release.

Went back Ipoh with AR so that she can meet my family after so many times meeting hers. It was a pleasant one and I brought her around Ipoh to taste all the food everyone will talk about when they heard the word Ipoh. The experience was good, although I do not really know her take on my family but anyway even if it’s not as pleasant as I can see, it won’t go far from there.

I'm starting to jog again this week because badminton and basketball have to be put on hold since the man in charge Kenny is in Tibet now for a month. Without him helping us to book courts at his condo, there isn’t anywhere better to play those games. So jogging is what I'm doing now to maintain my physical fitness and yes, it clears my mind as well :D

And I'm re-playing Fallout 2 now! It’s really a good old-fashioned game! Gotta go play now…
