Koon Kee Wantan Mee, Petaling Street

My training centre is near Chinatown so I'll sometimes grab my lunch there. I discovered the most awesome wantan mee there when 20 cents brought me there once during my 2 hours break on a Friday. Ever since then, I sometimes go there with my colleagues. It's none other than the awesome Koon Kee Wantan Mee. It's located opposite the famous Longan Drink in Chinatown.

I like wantan mee. But the texture of the noodles from Koon Kee is so nice to chew on that I can't stop eating it. And I love wantans too. Like a lot. I think the fillings on the wantan has some ermm.. salted fish and it made it tasted even better. Tried the braised chicken feet and mushroom too. And it was so good! But I prefer my wantan mee on its own and wantans on the side.


Look at the noodles!!


Wantans are my favorite!

Writing about this makes me feel like having this for lunch tomorrow. It's a little costly but it's all worth it!


Yummy!

TME, Hartamas

I bought this set of coupons like aeons months ago. It was probably way before I started working. Enjoyed it with 20 cents. The breakfast set was alright. Nothing great to shout about. And we ordered pork ribs and a mushroom soup to go with our breakfasts. Yes, we had breakfasts during dinner time.


The breakfast set


Mushroom soup

I personally do not enjoy the dinner much. The food was just so-so. The pork ribs was somewhat disgusting because it was all fats and like 10% of meat attached onto the bone. And the sauce just do not blend with the ribs. Yes, it doesn't suit my taste at all. Oh well.. on a bright side, I was with 20 cents. Nothing beats having him around :)


The fatty pork ribs



At least, the breakfast was good.


20 cents and myself

A Rather Fruitful Month

It has been a rather fruitful month, Fruitful November. There are still like two more days to it; I doubt I would actually remember what to write when December comes about. I would totally label November as a great month, for me at least.

Working has been great. Discovering new things about banking and meeting more people in this industry would definitely sum a fruitful and great month of mine in the banking industry. To top it up, I think that my confidence level rose up from 80% to 110%. That's like a great achievement for myself. It was *cough* so good that people did doubt my decision to be in banking instead of law. Nahh.. I think I made a great decision to be in the banking industry. Soft Skills Development classes started next week and I was late for the first class. I was in a meeting so yes, I was given a pardon. But the real challenge was acting. I literally had like 5 minutes of practice with my partner. Guess what? We nailed it! I never knew I was *ahem* talented in acting. And I wore like power suit to work. I totally look so great like that because a lot of my friends actually like the picture in my Facebook. Yes, it was definitely a great boost to my confidence.


CEO in making!

Being in an LDR isn't so bad. I am often occupied with works. Weekends could be a little harder but I was blessed with great friends so it wasn't too bad. 20 cents' parents sometimes will pick me up for dinners. And his cousins and friends will bring me out too. Weekends are not too bad. But of course, I do miss 20 cents a lot, a lot. We make sure that we are often connected to ensure that we knew what's happening with each other. Like how I learned from 20 cents that drizzles in the East Coast means the rain has stop. It's raining elephants and giraffes there everyday because the monsoon recently said hello to that side of Peninsular. It helps our relationship a lot because we are actually learning more things about each other. I even took the initiative to learn about his job and vice versa.

Distance isn't an issue for us, I believe. It made us appreciate the quality times we spend together when he is back for long weekends. We went for fish spa last Friday and it was the best times spent together. Sharing a meal together and walking hands on hands after our outing were the best thing to do ever. Oh damn.. I am tearing as I am typing this. Like people always say.. distance does make the hearts grow fonder. As much as I get all emotional once in awhile, I believe that the distance make our relationship grows stronger. Oh well.. on a bright side, he is coming back for my convocation next week. I was literally on Cloud 9 when he told me that he purposely took a day off so he could attend my graduation ceremony. I felt really bad that he has to sacrifice his sleep to travel thru and forth from Kemaman to KL. But knowing that he doesn't mind at all is the bestest feeling ever. I knew I met the ONE already.


It was soooooo ticklish!

I was in Outward Bound School for six days. I didn't complete it because I got a really, really bad allergy reaction that left me look swollen and mutated. I thought it was all superficial until I requested to go back to see a doctor. The horror when I found out about the allergy reaction!! Doctor said I made the right decision to be back because I might collapsed if I don't. The allergy reaction could actually close my throat and what's not then asthma and yes, I could just drop dead literally. I always have taken lightly on my health. Flu and cough and fever.. who cares? Pop some Panadol and I will be fine by tomorrow. But as I grew older, I somewhat get weaker and it takes forever for me to be heal from a slight flu. I am going for a check up soon.. I hope I am fine. Yes, health is definitely more important than some things in life.


After the jab (ouch!)

Went back home twice this month. One for the baby sister's birthday and one for fun.. The baby sister celebrated her 12th birthday. How time flies.. she was so little 12 years ago. Now she has grown into a 12 years old. Despite our age differences, she is the one person in my life that gave me some wisdom and awareness of so many things in life. Like how I am often aware about the special children I am surrounded by and how a small thing can make a difference in life.. I bet she will grow up as a great individual. I know I will be supporting her all the way. As for my younger sister, she is a law student now. I am so proud of her, you know. We used to be enemies. I know.. I know.. what the heck was I thinking? We never had a conversation until like a year ago or so.. now we are talking to each other and updating each other with our lives. I guess growing up does make one person changes into a better one. I miss both of them already!


Two birthday cakes for the birthday girl!

I am so thankful and blessed to Him for giving me the best of everything in life. I got a great job, great learning curves, greatest 20 cents ever, great friends.. I literally have the best of everything. Of course, great family. I used to have lots of downs with the parents but I guess growing older made me realized and appreciating them more. Yes, I love both my sisters to bits too! I can't wait to see these great people on my convocation next week!

And I am looking forward to December. Convocation and Christmas!

The Road Not Taken

I have been thinking a lot recently about the choices I made in life. The paths and choices I made were not once regretted. I always thought that I would actually go back to the path where it has been explored; the one where many assumed I will do great things in but I chose the road not taken. Remember the poem, The Road Not Taken we learned in school? It was about exploring the road not taken which was filled with new things that one will never bother taking because it looks not taken. I chose that road to explore the great things that I know I will be a success at.

I still enjoy what I used to do a lot. I love writing still and it will always be my passion. But to me, banking is something challenging that I want to explore in. And I have a feeling that I'll do great as well in it. As unconventional it is, I do find banking very interesting. How ironic a writer would actually enjoy numbers and banking jargon.. but I do enjoy it. I believe that taking this path will lead me to a greater success. Perhaps someday I could combine both my passion and interest into one.. who knows ?

It's gonna be a tough journey at the road not taken but it will definitely be an eventful and fruitful one. I believe that I will explore a lot of great things along this road. I shall share more as I explore. The ambitious me is highly driven by success. It's so great to know that I am actually interested in the unknown; unknown for me, at least. It has been two great months of learning and exploring and I am still loving it..

I even learned about my weaknesses. People said that the truth is painful but to me, the truth makes me a stronger person and of course, improving myself to be a much stronger and better person. I was told that I am a leader and I shall continue uphold that belief and principles because I do believe that leading is my sort of thing. As dominant and Hitler-ish it sounded, I do believe that I will do great things. After all, minimum effort and maximum results. With His Help, nothing is impossible. Everything will be possible.

On an irrelevant note, I am on Cloud 9! Oh yea.. my convocation is in two weeks and I am looking forward to it. If you are free and happen to be in KL, do drop by to take a picture with me.

Living In A World With Choices

Got back from OBS and yes, I did not complete it. Don't ask me why.. I dislike repeating myself. I would probably tell you if you ask me.. it depends on the mood. The mood swings a lot lately. Oh well.. I am a woman. Sue me! So, I had to be an office girl for a week or so and do filing and what's not in the office. It wasn't so bad; at least I am indoor.

Went back to Ipoh for the weekend to do my laundry. I was thinking that I could speed up washing with a machine but the machine decided to broke down when I was back. Oh well.. I literally spent my whole Saturday hand washing my clothes. But it's alright. At least, I am occupied with things to do. It's supposed to be a weekend of anniversary outing with 20 cents but he has to work. So, we postponed it to next week. And the distance is kinda hard for both of us. I miss him so much that I sometimes tear a little thinking of him. I am not clingy but just not used to it..and I don't really have much close friends here in KL. Most of them are out of KL. Oh well.. life's like this.

Had an hour conversation with Sean. I miss him so much !! It has been so long since we last talk. I am so glad we had a chat to catch up with each other and blabbering away about stuffs. I just realized that most of my close friends are guys. I guess it's always easier to deal with guys sometimes.. less drama and emotions. Besides, they could totally handle the emotional me. I can be that emotional but I guess it's the mood swings that always kick in at the wrong time. Oh damn..

Training starts again tomorrow.. it has been two months I am in the banking industry. Let's hope I turn out well..

And yes, I miss my 20 cents so damn a lot !!

3 Years and Counting...

I am like disconnected by the world and technology because I am in some jungle at the moment. No mobile phone allowed, no Internet and probably still traveling to and forth KL and Perak. But this doesn't stop me from wishing my beloved 20 cents...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, LOVE!

It has been a great 3 years of love. I remembered how we held hands secretly under my sweater when we were in the cinema for our very first movie together. I am so glad that we held hands because it was one of the greatest things ever. And all the silly things we did together and still doing it. Despite that we are so far apart at the moment, I am grateful to have you to be with me even if it's just a text message or a Whatsapp message or even Viber sometimes. It's hard but I know we can do this ! After all, it's not going to be a permanent thing.



I am so glad that you told me about your future plans that involved me. I was so touched that I swear that I wanted to tear there and then. But you'll probably call me silly because I have been tearing a lot since you left to Kemaman. I am already doing my best not to tear much because I know you'll be sad if I do so. I miss you a lot and sometimes, I do wish that you are here to wipe away my tears. I promise you that I'll hold back my tears the next time.

The last weekend we spent together was the best though very tiring because we need to travel a lot. I am so happy that we could do our usual grocery shopping and had our bubble tea sessions. And just talk about anything and everything under the sky. The happiest thing ever would be you telling me about your job. I am so happy that you have plans for yourself and us. As corny as it sounds, I am probably the happiest girlfriend on Earth when I learn about you and your job.



Time flies and changes. But one thing that will never change would be my love for you. And I know that your love me remain unchanged too. The distance does make our hearts grow fonder. Oh my.. I am actually tearing while writing this post. No worries.. it's tears of joy because I miss you so much! I can't wait to spend the next long weekend with you.

20 cents, I love you! And Happy 3 years to you and me!

Away For 10 Days..

I will be away for 10 days from the 9th of November till 18th of November for Outward Bound School (OBS) organized by the company. Honestly, I am not looking forward to it at all. I'd been to a similar one but it has nice accommodation with aircon. And I am not an outdoor person. Never like the sun because it gives me bad skin and burnt skin. Like eeeewww...

The worst of all would be no communication with the outside world for 10 days! No phone will be allowed for 10 days! How can one live without a phone??? I know I can't ! I am too dependent on phone and Internet. And that means I would not be able to watch my drama series for 10 days. Imagine how much I will miss out.. and no phone calls with 20 cents too. How sad can that be?!

And my rashes has been getting crazier. I get rashes easily these days especially when I sweat. It's so itchy that I swear I could go nuts with scratching. And I have to be in touch with dirty sea water, grass and dust in OBS. Oh the horror! What am I gonna do? It doesn't help either that I have some complications with my body too. I cannot do no activities that might affect my spine. You see.. the princessy me was born with an extra bone on the spine. Any impact on it will caused horrid pain.. so yea.. let's hope I do not have to be involved with activities that might just kill me..

Father Lord, please lift me up by protecting me from all the danger and harm during my stay in OBS. Guide me through all the activities and take away my fear and burdens too. Give me wisdom when I need it for the activities. Thank you Jesus!

Damn.. It's November Already !

Life seems fine; I guess. Working's fine too. I hope. It gets a little dull when things are rather routine-ish. I am not the type of person who enjoys sitting down much without much things to do. I am getting the knowledge but the skills will only come to me.. I don't know.. after six months. Oh well.. 5 more months to go.

The thing that I am kinda adjusting to would be living alone without 20 cents around me. It's weird to not have him around especially on weekends. It's like me going to church alone when everyone else has their partners with them. Oh well.. I guess I'll just need some time to adjust to it. I am praying really hard that he'll be based in KL after his training. At least, if he is off to work, it's more like traveling and our weekends will finally be synchronized. It sucks when we have different weekends. It's just annoying. But oh well.. it's fine. I could live with that for the moment. We are planning our future already. Thank God that I have an awesome boyfriend.


Our most recent photo together

I am really grateful to have great people around me to help me to adjust to this new phase of life. 20 cents' parents bring me out for dinners on the weekends and let me sleep at their place too. And of course, 20 cents' awesome cousins, Geri and Francis for letting me crash their homes so that I could follow them to church. Thanks you guys! The best of all.. I have HIM with me all the time. He always ensure that I am well protected when I walked to work and come back from work.


Awesome mini cupcakes from Wondermilk from Geri

Oh yea.. I'll be away for 10 days for Outward Bound School (OBS). It's not something that I look forward to but I have to go because yes, it's a company's trip. Oh well.. 10 days of no communication with the outside world. Definitely not something pleasant to think of.. I guess the stress is giving me some rashes and complications. Sigh.. I just want to get over it and I am done.

And I will only be able to celebrate our 3rd year anniversary later.. I am planning for something for myself and 20 cents. 3 years and counting..
