Independence Day

Fact of the day : Today is Malaysia's Independence day!

How is it like here during Merdeka? Well there's not much Merdeka being in a different country but you will be pleased to know that this country will be celebrating their independence day this Thursday. Everything will be shut for 2 days. WOW!

Truth be told. People here definitely can use some holiday. They work really really hard!

On a side note : Made pineapple tarts :) hehehehe!

Day 11, 12, 13

Fact of the day : Labour cost in here is really low ie underpaid workers.

Sorry that I've been missing in action for a few days. Been busy with things. Waking up really early since my return from spore. Shocking eh? LOL.

Tomorrow the day my nephew comes. YAY!!!!! Can't wait. Counting down the hours.

FYI : He's a really cute boy and really smart too. Gives me something to do hear to kill boredom :)

Days away....

Fact of the day : Fat people is less hired compared to thin people? (quote from a current working person)

Went to Singapore for a holiday and met up with my relatives. This was one of the motion that's mind boggling. Apparently, if an employer has to choose between person A (fat) and person B (Thin) with the same qualifications, B will definitely get it because A is fat and less attractive ie seen as less presentable and confident.

What bollocks is this? People in the region outside Asia are not exactly on the 'skinny'(looking aneroxic) kind of scale. So are we saying that they can't get jobs? Or are we saying that, I should look for a job abroad where I'm considered thin since in this region I'm a fatty? So much for equal rights eh? Think about it.

Day 10

Fact of the day : It is rather hard to find shuttle cocks around here.

Went around looking for shuttle cocks to play since my bro keeps feeding the shuttle to the trees around us. Everyday they receive a new 'flower' hahaha!

It's been raining for these past few days. I wish it will just stop so that we could go out and play :)

Day 9

Fact of the day : Vietnamese food ain't too bad if you know where to eat!

Went to a hotel with mom to try their Vietnamese cuisine. Order a set lunch menu. It was surprisingly good. PS : Vietnam Kitchen in Malaysia is not Vietnamese food. Trust me. It taste a whole lot yuckier here! (to me at least because I don't quite fancy their authentic food)

Did a few more shopping here and there for the Singapore trip soon :)

Day 8

Fact of the day : Dancing is fun :)

Went clubbing with mom and her friends. Yes, MOM. It was fun. There was a live band and the songs played were really in our generation type songs. It was in a hotel so it wasn't so bad. There were people smoking all around though and there were 2 girls who were trying so hard to seduce guys there. You could just give them a pole and they will make good strippers! (No, i'm not being harsh, everyone on the dance floor agreed that they were bit too over the top!)

Got back late and felt asleep till 2 pm the next day. hahahha!

Day 7

Fact of the day : The local people here are stubborn and pushy!

Went to church this morning to find out that the pastor was no longer preaching in the church due to visa disapproval. How sad. He was indeed an interesting pastor with really short but informative sermons. Mom said he will be back once awhile to 'spot' check the church. Currently, they are inviting different speakers from different places (countries) to share the word with us :)

Nothing much done today apart from slight shopping. Not sure if I'm actually thinking straight when I shop or do I just look to see if it's nice, check the price, bargain and buy?LOL. Bought 2 dresses and 4 tops today for about 100rm! :) happy happy happy!

Wonders what I'm going to do tomorrow though and days after before heading to Kiasu-land. LOL

Due to all the extra time I have (since there's nothing much to do here), I'm missing you loads...
