I will be temporary closing this blog for the time being. Just want to clear off my mind before I post anything anymore. It is hard to control myself and I think I don't want people to read anymore posts about my emotions anymore. Yes, I made VINCENT CHOO sad and mad and it has not been a good experience for me too as it is also the same to me (sad and mad at times). So, I have decided to close this down until I can deal with the problem.

The sky is clearing

Things have settled down. Now it is more definate already. I am more of a loss of a good brother, but I am happy. At least I know the answer to my own misery and I have done making people unhappy about me. Confusion cleared. With the sky coming up, although it is moody, I know. I have to rely on myself. I cannot rely on the person whom is closed to me anymore. Overall, we can't tango if there is only one dancer. There is a different in status. I can't rely too much and love someone who is closed to me, but only as a friend. I am happy. The sky although is moody, at least there is a single ray of sunlight.

Ini adalah secebis hatiku...

Dah...terjadi lagi. I sendiri pun tak tau apa yang I tengah lalu. Terasa secebis kepahitan di atas dada ku. Ingin sangat nak bercakap dengan seseorang, namun, I sendiri pun tak tau apakah sebabnya. Terbangun dari tidur semalam pada pukul 2 pagi. Tiba-tiba, I terasa teramat rindukan seseorang. I cuba nak mentutup mataku namun air mata mengalir di dalam hatiku. I sendiri pun tak pasti apakah sebabnya. I tau, I tengah luka. Tengah luka atas sebab yang I sendiri pun tak pasti. Ini bukan kali pertama ia terjadi. Dah beberapa malam dah. Ingin sangat nak bercakap dengan orang, namun, saya tak tahu siapa. Kawan I dah terlupa I dah ataupun, dia sendiri pun tak tau apa yang tengah lalui. Sakit dan pahit. Terasa rindu dan terasa keseorangan di sini.

Old (MBA Apartment) v/s New (Small High Apartment)

I used to stay in an MBA Apartment. Inside the apartment, I had 3 bedrooms with similar size. Worse of all, inside the apartment, I had one small living room and hallway only. The toilet was quite ok, for a big house. Worse of all, there was no kitchen and so I wasn't cooking for at least 3 weeks and had to live with KFC, McD and random orders during the weekdays because I don't know how to read Chinese. But then, I have to admit, MBA has the best heater system cause it was centalised. Below are the pictures that tell us all:

Then I finally able to shift to a new place where LayHong used to stay. It looks exactly like a house and I now understand what LayHong meant when she said she moved into an apartment where she could call home. It is homely. Although it is cold during the winter as the apartment faces 3 open space, it is nice to leave there. There are only 2 bedrooms inside the apartment; one master and the other one smaller. I am sleeping in the master bedroom now which is way bigger than the smaller one. I have a huge living room and dining room space which is cold, XD lazy to switch on the heater, and a cool hallway. The toilet is big, which I like, and the best part of all, I have a kitchen, which I have not cooked in as I don't have any pots and pans yet. The best thing about this apartment is, I have my own washing machine which took me 2 runs before I gave up and ask MiKi on how to use it. Hahaha....first wash took me 2 hours and 2nd wash, I couldn't open the door because I pressed the no drainage option. LoL....

With the house fully equipped, I am a happy lark now. Below are the pictures:

I am very happy!!

Yesterday, I was very happy indeed. My small nephew bugged my brother to ask him to Video call me and so we chatted again although I just have just chatted with him yesterday. It was so sweet of him to remember me. Although the conversation was all about buying him cars and toys, he still remember me.

Wish my baby bro was as thoughtful as him but he wasn't half bad. LoL...just bad at reading messages and falling asleep totally fast lately. He must be exhausted from college. Woke him up yesterday though and was happy finally able to talk to him although there's a lot of thing that I finally got from him that he has an 'L'. LoL...don't know which part of him tells him that I am not interested to know about his progress. He said it was not important for me to know about him and seriously I doubt he knows what it means to tell me his life story. If he is half as good at reporting things like Big Sis

and Baby Sis,

I don't think I even need to ask. XD

I seriously miss them all. Well...I think I need to do some calling next week then. It is time to hear their voices again. Starting with Jia whom never did reply me yesterday coz he kept on DC-ing. XD

Next post...my house. Which was delayed due to the fact that it was cold when I got back and I am lazy to take pictures for now. :P

Tired as a Bee

Tired. It is just a word. Feel like quiting, nah! Although my body is telling me to stop working, I have been pushing it forward. Compared to the tiredness that I had while teaching both tuition and Taylors, this is only half of it or is it a 3/4 of it. I don't know. I am tired but happy. Happy of working....that feels so like yesteryear while I was working for Flamingo...or I am like the rest of the gang, happy because I am new here and I am not bored of it yet...I dunno. But then...new things are always fun to play with...XD

Korean and Cherry's Opening

Lasy to write anything this week. Let me just use these pictures to tell a thousand word. XD....

One of the omelette which Karen and I had difficulty calling as they don't really call it KimChi in China. LoL....

The nice sotong dish which was very nice.

Taken a picture with the group. Left out Jennifer though as she was sitting on the table next to us. XD

Next day...went for Cherry's opening in SuZhou New Park. Nice food.

Karen introduced us to a nice cake house. Something that should be shout upon as it was really nice - Leo and Karen posting for the cake.

This was how busy GuangChinJie looked like in late winter. According to Jennifer, it would be even worse in Summer.

Overall, I still like our Times Square in SIP.

I am sorry...this post is done in the midst of waiting for Sailo's songs to be downloaded and since it is already 4.33 am...i don't really feel like blogging at all. Well...according to all my Kakak besar here that I am vain...should let them see my own Adik...who is of my equal. XD...sorry Vinger. I still love as my brother man.

My Perfect Weekend (So Far)

Last weekend was fun. Had a great time visiting LuZhi (or known as Venice of China) which is a water town near to SuZhou Industrial Park (SIP). It took us only 40 minutes by bus to reach LuZhi and I was amazed by how it looks like. China, being China, is very dirty but that doesn't mean that the town is not beautiful. I was actually amazed by it. The only sad thing about this trip was that I wasn't ablet to ride on the gandola...but it was ok. Will wait for mom to come over and ride one later. Hehehe...the worse thing about riding the sampan is that we are going through the back of people's house and that is the reason why my friends decided not to ride on it because they were not keen on going through it and at the same time, they had been to LuZhi for quite a number of time and so it was nothing new to them.

Scenes from my Camera....:

Hahahaha...the sign said they sell dog meat....

Yeah....we had pork's leg for lunch...and it was superb

A nice view with Jennifer, Karen and Miki (LoL...all the big sis)

Hahaha...check out the irony

Headed back to SIP and the bus was damn full. The worse thing about riding a bus in China is that they will still take on passengers although they know very well that the bus is filled with passengers and the Chinese here will try their very best to nudge into the bus as best as possible. It was one of those very bad sardine cans scenario that I have been. LoL..but it was still an experience.

Later that night, Karen invited me to her dinner with TiLAm. A friend that is also from Malasia. We had our dinner at Cherry's Garden. A very nice cafe that serves very nice steaks and I enjoyed the dinner very much. The girls even celebrated Karen's birthday which was a surprise to her. Oh, I forgot to mention that the best food that is served in that place is none other than the Chocolate Fondue. Hmm.....delicious.

Once we wer done with the dinner, we head back to SIP for a karaoke. Sang for 2 hours before we headed back to our own apartment.

This is how SIP looks like at 12.30 am

SuZhou Is Kinda Nice

Waiting. This is what I have been doing for the past 2 days. Not that I don't want to start with any but there's nothing much that I can really do for now. Nothing has been assigned yet and maybe when it's assigned, life would be very much different then. But so far, the after work activities look kind of promising and fun. I went to AuSang yesterday to buy some winter clothings and trust me, I bought more than that. I have spent almost a fortune buying all sorts of stuff ranging from winter clothing to even an electric mattress and steam iron. All in all, I've spent approximately RMB 1,000 and more which is equivalent to RM 500. Ouch! But I was more than happy to get it. As a conclusion, not everything in China is cheap but you can seriously get a Pocky for only RM 3.40 which is like RM 1.70 and it tastes better than the Malaysian ones because it has a varities of flavors. Best of all, would really like to have DiDi here during winter because strawberry is only RMB 4.50 for containers and it is nice. Way cheaper than Malaysia a lot.

Anyhow....just came back from Japanese Buffet in one of the area. It was delicious and way better than Shogun in KL. Not really that expensive as it costs only RMB 100 to enjoy all the food that you can eat. Yummy...but then...the only sad thing about today was the choice of selection. All fish. Yuck!

The instant that I have eaten.
