Last week till now - Final part!!!

Last week, I basically only worked for one day, which was on Wednesday. I was on leave on Monday as I wanted to take good rest after Johor trip. I also took the opportunity to jog at nearby park, Tasik Seri Pemaisuri, a really nice place for jogging and relaxing. After jogging, I continued to swim. It made me so refresh and I am determined to do exercise at least once a week for my health!!! We could earn a lot of monet but without good health, you would not be able to enjoy life.

On Tueasday, I was on half day training and so did not go to client place at Rawang. I was also on last minute study leave on Thursday and Friday for ACCA mock exam last Sunday. WHile doing my revision, I also went to shop at Midvalley and gathering with Xiaxiang friends at Sushi King for the RM2 Bonanza. We queue up for around one hour plus and we could only eat there for one hour.

On Friday night, we celebrate belated birthday for Xin Yi at Dae Cheong Ngam at Sri Hartams. It was my first time to officially go Sri Hartamas/Mont Kiara.

It is our tradition to celebrate each other birthday since our uni time (T6 classmates). Too bad that Elvi, Lan Xin, Ying Sing and Sez Chin cannot join us nowadays as all of them are working at Singapore. Our usual gang included Kean Yap, Me, Xin Yi, Sing Mae, Qian Ling, Roland, Kong Soon, Jason...

Kukup is situated south of Pontian a small town at the southwest corner of Johor. It is an interesting fishing village with many residents having their houses built on stilts over the sea. This village is famous for its seafood restaurants, most of which are built on stilts over the sea too.7 cars, 29 people departed to Kukup, a small fishing village around 11am on Saturday. We reached Kukup around 12.30pm and took ferry to our chalet. We met up with Han Yi, another member who came herself from her homtown, Kluang.

I will have an annual gathering tomorrow at Johor with my 3rd batch UTAR xiaxiang friends. 30 of us...hope that it will be a successful and enjoyable gathering...let's enjoy to max!!!

Happy mooncake festival!!!

Today is another Chinese Festival: "Mooncake Festival" or "Mid Autumn". I want to wish my family, relatives and all my friends a Happy Mooncake Festival and enjoy your celebrations!!!

This year is my fifth year that I did not celebrate with my family at Brunei. Today, I finished my whole day ACCA class at Sunway around 6.30pm and decided to go to Lowyat with Eddie to shop for new digital camera. After Federal Highway, it started to jam along the road to Bukit Bintang. After passing Sungei Wang, we thought of turning to Pavilion, however the road was closed!!! We have no choice but to turn to the road to Pandan Indah, Cheras areas and ended up at Ampang. We cancelled the shopping at Lowyat and Jalan Ipoh's Dim sum (Plan to go to meet our friends after shopping).

On the way back Cheras, it was jammed and full of cars again. I wonder why there are so many cars at KL at this time. Is it due to mooncake festival and Saturday night? I reached my house around 9pm after having quick dinner with Eddie. 2 and a half hour of jamming and wasting our time and fuel!!! What the....This was how I celebrated this year's mooncake festival.

While celebration, natural disasters have occurred around the world. Earthquake at Sumatra, Typhoon Parma and flood at the Philliphines, Tropical Storm Ketsana at Southeast Asia and so on have caused thousands of death!!! Please do our part to save the world. Natural disasters are made worse and serious by human activities.
