6 Non-sensical Me

May 28, 2008

I got a tag from Ann…hehehe

Hmm, my ex-boss used to tell me that common sense is not common to people. Is he trying to tell me off - dunno laa as I could not care much then. I knew I did my job to the best I could.

The rules:
1. Link to the person that tagged you - Ann
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4. Tag someone

The non-sensical me consists of:

  1. I am very vulnerable to sale, warehouse clearance and all sorts of sale. I have the urge to buy even when I don’t need the item (just yet!). I changed job from KLCC (shopping haven) to an area I believe have less influence, somewhere in PJ - little did I know that this place is surrounded by warehouse! Sigh, sale just could not leave me alone….
  2. I got to have the toilet light turned ON when I take bath - even on broad daylight.
  3. I love to go for spa and I paid like RM1xx to RM2xx for a session, without the need to think much. However, I need to think over a week or two when I want to buy a pair of comfy working shoe or a nice working blouse that costs RMxx or RMxxx - something which I need more than spa emoticon
  4. I cannot watch horror movie alone. I better not watch any cause I will be freaking out so often after that - its disturbing my routine…..bleh!
  5. I used to often day dream that I am a very talented performer - singing a great song while playing the guitar or dancing like I never danced before…geez!
  6. I find that planning/dreaming for a holiday is more fun than being in the holiday itself - at least few of the times.

Okay, I want to know what non-sensical stuff these people have - Simon, WY and CityGal

Tag – Four Me

July 19, 2007

Hey, this is the very 1st tag that I got from a blogger friend – feels special, thanks to Pinky for this special feeling…
Usually I got tagged from Simon only :P
OK OK! Here you go…
Four jobs I have had in my life:

  1. Computer lab technical assistant – My part time job when I was a student, pay is only RM5 per hour but I enjoyed the job a lot. I get to know lots of friends from other intakes, hands-on experience on setting up computer labs and etc. The money I earned helps me to buy my meals and some other necessities so that I don’t have to take pocket money from my parents. I worked at every opportunity I can get after my lecture hours, sometimes I do the night shift usually only up to 9pm when the college closes.
  2. Software Engineer – My first job after I graduated. I got the job before my results were released but sadly I did not enjoy my job as I often feel at lost and uncertain about my directions. I quit a few months after.
  3. Systems Executive – My first serious job after graduation, back to the institution that I graduated from. I got this job due to my previous part time work above – I reported to my manager, who is also my previous lecturer. I enjoyed the job there too as most of my colleagues have the same background as me – they were all once a student. The work was challenging at times but it is fun when we have good team mates. We not only work together, we even go for vacations and many outings together. We were all singles then and enjoying our life being a young working adult. I ended up married to one of my colleague J. The 5 years of work there is very meaningful to me as I cross a few of my important milestones and grew up to be more matured.
  4. Technical Writer – This is my current job and I enjoy the job too because it is something that I can do without much pressure. The pay is also quite good considering the workload. I will be doing this as long as my other option is not established, which will enable me to be a PTWM.

Four of my favourite foods:

  1. Assam laksa
  2. Home cooked “tong sui” (sweetened hot drink)
  3. Durians – it’s a fruit but can be eaten as a meal with rice …yum yum
  4. Assorted nyonya kueh (especially ‘ang ku’ and ‘or ku’) and bak chang (meat dumplings)

 

Four Countries I have been to on vacation: (only places cause I have not traveled that many countries yet)

  1. Phuket, Phi Phi and James Bond islands – for my honeymoon – they have one of the best spa there :p
  2. Bangkok & Pattaya – I was pregnant with Zoe at that time and did not know about it, only a few weeks old and no symptoms yet. I went for all sorts of activities such as para-sailing in the rain, snorkeling at Coral island and let the elephant wrap me around its trunk and carry me around…waahahaha…it was real fun!
  3. Singapore – Shopping, night safari, Sentosa island and everything else that Singapore got to offer except for chilli crab….I still wonder why!?
  4. Mount Kinabalu, Sabah – I went there with my hubby (then boyfriend) and another couple who are close friends. We climbed the Kinabalu, walked the canopy walk in Poring hot spring, soak myself silly with the hot spring, snorkeling at the Manukan islands and went white water rafting at Kiulu river. It was a great and challenging trip but I truly cherished all the memories.

 

Four places I would rather be right now:

  1. At home with Zoe and cooking a nice dinner for the family.
  2. Shopping at some warehouse sales.
  3. On holiday with my family and friends – local or overseas
  4. Nicely dressed up at a beautifully decorated garden/beach wedding.

 

Four friends to tag:

1. Ann Ann
2. Pat
3. Simon - he might have done this before but I will tag him anyway :p
4. Duck and Frog tales (Su Yi’s Daddy)
