16/1 ah boi's wedding

eventful weekend. ah boi's wedding, followed by a gathering with ah wah and ah seng koko.

ah boi's wedding really took up the whole of saturday. we woke up at 6am, left house by 645, reached jaffre's place before 7am. i drank tea only (no solid food), then we went to sunway tower hotel to "chip san leong." the games were very simple, maybe due to time constraint or they are just playing it for the sake of playing it.

1st game was pumping
2nd game was drinking beer from a baby bottle.
3rd game was to wish ah boi koko wedding wishes

and thats it.~



took some photos before we travelled to Japanese association's house (Sokka Gakkai) at Imbi. The ceremony was very casual. very nice, easy, relaxed and comfortable. ate some light breakfast there (bought egg tarts and siew pao - same one as yukky introduced, the mini version @ cheras)

after the ceremony was done, we all drove back to jaffre's house. i guess everyone is looking forward to it and feeling happy as it is the 1st wedding in our family since i think either ah peen koko's or ah leng jiejie's. and the best part was that, everyone who was younger than ah boi koko is entitled for an angpow.. hahaha..... first angpow my sisters received in years! funny

 
elise and ewan. elise is using her scrunchie to tickle ewan's face. he enjoyed it. lol
 
me @ the sunway grand imperial dinner~

at the end of the dinner, we took a family photo (big family photo). missing ah swan jiejie, ah kim jiejie, ah yong and ah seng koko's kids. i drove ah small boi back cos he was drunk.. haha.. i am not sure if he actually knows the office people but he seem really closed with them.... not sure if its the alcohol..,. haha

anyways, then yday had lunch with ks (for ks bday) at la rissata. okla not bad the food. it was a good time spent to catch with the group since christmas party (which wasnt too long ago). interesting thing i learnt during the lunch was if you super like someone on tinder, they will know... ^^ lol.

note to self: need to learn how to react properly to embarrassing shits. lol. but i wasnt really embarrass la, just dont know what to say nia...

what else? talked to minli. i m happy that she wants to come home for good... someday...
~~~

thats pretty much it kua.. went to unique seafood with the Kees'.  came back, watched liverpool v man utd. it was a game we unfortunately loss... :( thats football.

time to go exercise! ciaoooo

15/1

Feel like getting new phone but must try to resist it. I don't really need one but the feeling of owning a new phone is sooooooooooooooo.......  Yums? Awesome?  Haha. Need to improve my vocabulary.

What did I do yday? Went over to cm house. Trashed him in fifa. Won 3 games using arsenal. Have to admit arsenal is very fun to use cos of the movement of the players. Very active. And they are good at intercepting passes too.  Saw tricias new Google 6p. The screen is clearer... But that's all lah! Haha.. (telling myself).

Picked up big sis yday too from airport. Everyone is here now for ah Bois wedding.

Going out for dinner with efe later... Wee....

14/1

Sleepy. Woke up around 430 to watch Liverpool vs arsenal. Thank gawd to Henderson's lofted pass to benteke, whom knock the ball to Allen. 3-3.

Picked up dad at 630, came back, ran for the first time in two weeks I think.felt good. Did 4km.

Not sure what happened between after run till 230, but it was time wasted.

Just read my book and will do my exercise after this.

Ah boi koko is getting married this weekend and I will be one of the heng dai this Saturday. Tmr go dinner with Eefeng. Decided to go g3, hopes she likes it.

Should do more studying on stocks Charting later

13/1 dental checkup

Visited the dentist today. Surprised / not so surprised to hear that I need some works on one of my tooth. Surprised cos got cavity. Not so surprised cos I last visited the dentist more than  yr ago. Now I need to make sure I floss correctly otherwise I may pull out my filings.

Weigh myself just now. Gained 2kg wth.  not surprised kua considering the amount I ate since they are back. Everyday dinner. And Chinese new year snack summo.

Dad is staying over at Kammo house also. Dunno why he cannot tell earlier and likes to make last minute notice. It is not like a hotel where u can check in anytime u want. Find it very improper and could be dealt better. Maybe that's why I find it difficult to talk or work with him. Gets to me every time..

Started reading a new book called whiskey tango foxtrot. So far so good. Much better than in the kitchen

12/1

In penang for a short two day trip with ja and family. Visited mum early this morning, now at hotel, getting ready to head home.

What I did over the weekend? Not much, really not as effective to my time plan as I was before sis came over. Played most of the time. Played fifa 16 for awhile before realizing it is not worth my money and ask for a refund on the same day after a few hours.  Lol stated Talos principle which is portal like, first person puzzle. Quite interesting but I get tired Quickly from moving too fast. Lol

Other that that, drove to pg yday, up until ipoh. Then I swapped with Eddie. Tried to meet up with vaine but she couldn't make it.

7/1

Good evening!

I woke up early this morning by accident. It was around 636+-. This is my first time in awhile since I left my job that I woke up before 7.  Went to market with Kammo and bought mint and beet root to grow. Let's see how it goes.

China dropped a max of 700+ today. Before recovering a bit. Gg lo.see how tmr.  Profit gross I think 700 today.  But lots of unrealised loss.

I think I feel comfortable with the current situation, except when others talk about it, makes me slightly edgy and nervous.

Anyway, Kaufu is off for business trip and small boi is staying with us now for awhile. I think is nice to have another person at home.  Keeps the home more cosy.

Going to meet yukky later for interrogation lol. Apparently she got a bf now wo..
Haha  curious to know who is the guy. 

Did  a bit of cleaning up with my excel summary. Looks better now except for one or two formulas, can resume the progress with other stock. Before it is too late.  (I was qing to buy mikromb when it decided to break its resistance and I think it jumped 10c from the price I was looking.... Sad..

6/1

earn some 450 gross today. hope no market crash in the next two months lol

auto-gate is fixed but the wall button to open is not working.

i finished my 3-day detox. dont feel much different yet. maybe cos i am already quite healthy :D

liverpool won 1-0 against stoke yesterday. i think all our CB are injured except for kolo toure. coutinho is out as well.

tonight yc @ bumbung aka tmn paramount nasi lemak. YUMS!

5/1

2016 trading day 2 - RM450 gross today. need China to recover further!

did some gardening today.. getting my tray ready for new seeding. what to plant???

met up with pf and minli @ ou, then dropped pf and her sister back to setia alam. met the sisters' kids and her mom. I think the last time i met pf's mom was prolly back when i visited her house the first time with HL.

HL is back. proposed. looks like everyone in the gentlemen chat group is engaged or married except me. hmm. nothing much to feel about it.. not yet anyway lol.

help out with ACS today, glad to see everything is working but Sister is asking to do more, not sure if I want to commit more time to it. will see how. but I am happy to hear that they need some volunteers.

4/1

Highlights over the weekend

Chris Woon's wedding on Saturday. Funny story. He posted in FB to inform the ppl that it is at 1pm, but the wedding lunch is actually at 12pm. After lunch, CM and I went to Amcorp mall to shop for some books. I bought Jamie Oliver's Meal in minutes and two Jeffrey Deaver's books. Bought two plants also from the LG for RM10 each.

After Amcorp, went over to CM house for FIFA. Lost two, won once. ;( Tried Tricia's mango tiramisu. Not bad really. Too bad she didn't bring it over for the Christmas party. ah well...

Christmas party's food was so-so. I think the sweet & sour fish/chicken was very good. And Ka Faii's bro-in-law's cake. Otherwise others are just normal, nothing special.

I did not participate in the X-mas exchange this year. After Calvin shared his reasons why he did not want to participate (too stressful thinking what to buy for Tricia), I thought about it and I do not have anything "Wants", and I too do not like to stress out what to buy for others.

No charity water in 2015 also strangely. Will do it again in 2016. Been doing more on Kiva, which is micro lending your money to random people around the world. I am mainly interested in the farming and food side.

Anyway, Sunday was normal. We played captain ball in the evening, which, even though I did not play well, I like it, the idea that we are having other activities within our group. Ccw, Deeana, CM, Tricia, Chew, Diyana, KF, Ailin, Nick and myself. The game itself is quite technical I think, more so than futsal as you probably need to move around and be more strategic about the positioning. Can't just shoot and try your luck. I went jogging at TTDI park after that. Felt good, first jog in a week! (Getting lazier... lol). Collected twigs for my "tray garden"

Came back to do some tidy up with my tray, to be continue later after sitting there for about 20mins.

started Plant vs Zombie: Garden Warface - I did not know it is a multiplater game ONLY. I thought there will be missions which I can level up and play myself. But nooo.... Anyway the game is okay.



MONDAY ---
started the detox which I bought from CY last week... didnt shit much.. not sure if thats because I am already clean or I have not experience the full effect yet (as of now it is 4-5hrs since consumption).

China crash. gg.... hope it will go back up. :D

2016

Celebrated NYE over at cm house. Ate Mango puffs, drinks -  wines, macaron, hokkien mee, biscuits, expensive over flavoured bread, chips.

And that was after a very filling dinner over at ccw house. Aunty invited me over for the roast pork which was really good. She bought it from euro deli.

Since I didn't bring any dishes over (I thought it was a more Chinesey dinner, in fact it was a western dinner with Chinese vege),i bought fruits from ever fresh. Bought plum, pear, grapes and kiwi.

Didn't do much yesterday. Went and met a friend in the morning, by the time I reach home is about 2++, set the trade up and then tido. Didn't do a lot of investment work yday. After I woke up, I did my evening exercise then get ready to leave home d.

Slept abt 3+ yday, started playing a new game (finally finished skyrim two days ago)  called paper sorcerer. Not bad so far. Old dungeon and dragons feel to it.

Hopefully I ll "clear"  it soon and start another game! I think potentially lyne is the next one to be completed....should continue my walking dead also. Lol

Anyway earlier today went to to Menyai kamikaze to bring the guys to try. None of them like it. I think their feedback is correct but I still like the siu yuk. I ordered the curry rice. It is not bad.  But dunno why the ramen really don't taste and look as good as before, even after taking into account the eggs are poorly done ramen eggs. Could be my last time trying there too.

After that wanted to buy books for Julia bday, but the borders tutup d. Will buy from tcm another time lo. Thinking of the Keri Smith series.

We went to PS Tokyo after that. Topics mainly revolved around wedding dinners and Chew's circumcision procedure. Lol.

Now back those. Going to read, tido then game

30/12

China crashed. Not a good news as my my position is at a higher price than it is now. Hopefully it will recover soon.

Went out almost the whole day with Min Li, Woon & Grace and Aaron. Went for lunch with Heng Lean and CCW at Chilli Pan Mee. After that we head to Jaya 33, and my gosh, my car is HOT. Don't know why they have not fix my car yet. Shall put this in a reminder to check.

Went to Jaya 33 to pay my insurance through credit card, whilst Woon need to sort out some matter with his wedding lunch. After that we went to Sangkaya. Glad they like it.

Came back home after that (12pm to 5pm). Happy to see that Bbplas went up (earning 1.7k now) - gain of 24% :D  - bright side among all the other sht.

will be meeting with a friend tmr morning... excited!!!

besides that not much.. need to exercise more, follow my habit points! do more reading and work.. been slacking recently.

29/12

Bought spirulina and detox from ChinYin today. Cost me about $853. I initially was keen on the detox only but I guess I got Upsell. All is good I hope, considering if it is as beneficial as they say. I trust Cy, so...

So things to do this week. Settle insurance with aia, settle new insurance quotation from prudential, Allianz and ge

If I can do the above that would be awesome, considering how lazy I am when it comes to insurance.

Tomorrow will withdraw money from affin, transfer to Maybank first, go insurance then go settle cimb atm card.

I should also start to look for new plants to grow.  I got two to three empty or dying pots that sure can use new plants.

Nothing much, started the new sim city, quite nice but it is not the old sim city, not sure whether to get it or not considering the number of games I have. Maybe I guess I know the answer should be a no.

I have been having this urge to play this build your own base, defend and live kind of simulation. Maybe will play terraria or old sim city 2000. I feel like playing the simtower also.

Watched ipman3 last Friday. Find it OK nia

28/12

Went running for the first time in weeks! Did 3km, felt good but tiring. "Meditate" a bit as well in the park. I felt it was easier to do it in the park, maybe because of the surrounding greeneries.

Last week was the most wedding I have attended in a week! FOUR. Saturday - Catherine, Sunday - Chin Yin, Thursday - Zen, Saturday - Yeh Chuin.

Then next weekend got Woon's wedding. Everyone is getting married.

My ideal age for marriage was 26. The reason behind it was that you will have some together "honeymoon" period before we will start having children. Age wise that would be better for female due to the health risks from older age pregnancy.

Anyway, I am 29 now, still single. Somehow, I do not feel that urge to find that someone now. Maybe the thought of the commitment, something that I felt I am unable to provide at this point in time, as well as the fact that I think I will be fine without one. Ideally, it would be great to have that experience of growing old with someone. But I am not desperate enough to do anything for it.

Further, the comment made by the Suzuki guy made sense. Our world is overpopulated to some extent. And to bring up a kid into our world at this time? Not to mention bringing up a child these days is costly.

Note to self: need to redo the soil in few pots and start to plant all over again! Keep it UP!

25/12

Merry Christmas!

Had a late night yesterday. After Zen's wedding dinner, we (the YPN "gang") joined Ee Feng and her friends for drinks & countdown. We ended up at Marini 57' after recommendation from Shaun. Turns out they don't do countdown over there. Anyway, I think everyone had a good time there. We left there around 130.  I sent Chui Li home because it was more practical as compared to Jay as he is staying at Bkt Jalil.

Came home, showered, played and surf a bit before crashing.

---

Will be meeting up with Chin Yin later for lunch. Wonder what will we be catching up. Strange leh. After so long haha... Hope there won't be any awkward scenarios... lolol

After that I think come back chill2 before going for dinner + movie with Nancy @ Paradigm.

Not much already.

Cut my hair yesterday. Did not like it as the barber said above eyebrow is too short. So I said OK, follow him. Post-cut = hair is WAY above eyebrow level. lol.

Did not like my boostjuice which I ordered as well. Ordered AllBerryBang, got Strawberry Squeeze. Told them about it, they re-used Strawberry Squeeze to make AllBerryBang.. zzzz taste like sht. Damn sien. I have been looking forward to it and I got sht.

---

Have not been jogging for awhile d. Should go run abit this afternoon/Saturday afternoon/Sunday morning.

24/12

Zen's wedding is tonight. I think it will the first time we all going to see Shaun since he left YPN.

Attended our family Christmas party yesterday night. It was fun to see everyone, eating and talking. Too bad Julia, Justin and eeleeng jie² weren't there. I bought a Art craft gift (which Joann jie2 won, but she decided to exchange it with jojo). I got biscuit from Japan!  Onnomnom

Anyway today my plan is to cut my hair, claim my haagendaaz (which likely means that I need to go to ou early)  and start looking around for a monitor which is stackable. Probably should do some measuring of my current table length first before going anywhere further with this plan. I think with my extra earnings from yesterday's trade, I soon can make this a reality. Woo.

Books currently reading: Carnal innocence and In the kitchen.

23/12

At Chee Meng's house now, waiting to play 2v2 fifa.

Share market today not bad, managed to clear all MY china C warrants, but I did repurchase back some at a lower price.  I am "off work"  until next Monday, so got more time to chill.

I will need to buy a gift later for the family gathering,  thinking of either book, puzzle or chocolate.  We shall see what I can chap later from tcm.

I wanna use Bayern or Dortmund later.

IPMAN3 is out also. I WANNA WATCH!

Still need to get use to blogging using Hp. Autocorrect is quite annoying at times.

Missed a lot of habits today because I came out for lunch. To consider this as a factor next time before accepting any activities.

22/12

DAY 2 of my blog revival.

Things I have been doing lately.

MAKING NEW HABITS: I am currently using this app called Fabulous to help me adopt new good habits. What it does is that it helps me to track what are my daily to do lists and at what time I should be doing it.

FOR EXAMPLE, I have set it that every weekday morning,  I will read the paper, do some exercise and meditate. I have been adhering to it so far (one week), except for the night after the Star Wars screening.

Aside from that, I am using it to form my daily work to do items e.g learning new Charting techniques, organising my own data etc.

I find this app really useful and would recommend it to anyone interested in using apps to help them better their lives.

for today, I still need to read 30mins,  another 8mins of work and 10mins reflection. NOT TO MENTION reading on food and gardening for 30mins lol

time to reset blogging

I have decided to come back to blogging.

I have more time now and I think this will help to improve myself on a new journey.

What to write? Well, I do not have a specific topic. Just write they say.

I think first of all, I probably need to organise my own data/notes first. Probably that is something I should do now.

I can also draw stuff with One Note if I want, draw and write to be precise. I think that is one of the main advantage of the One Note that I like so much. I can draw one side and write on the other, side-by-side.

So hopefully I will do this writing more often. Who knows, if I did draw something I nice I might just post it here, for memories :)


In other news, Christmas is coming soon, wonder what to buy for the family Christmas party exchange~ .. have to put a reminder for that to buy tomorrow. Maybe I'll go either curve or one utama for some shopping then.

Happy with the china shares today. the profit is excellent. With the additional cash, I now need to do more planning on how to invest with a strategy.

no more coordinator Pls

waaa I don't want be the timekeeper/showrunner/ wedding coordinator again! stressssssss!

ah well.all is good in the end.

happy times ahead!

hesitation

so cryptic.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow. even for half a day.

so tempted to msg my boss and tell him I want to El after meeting. but I won't be doing it... I mean come on. it is just half a day!

don't know what's wrong but somethings wrong. should be happier.
