2011 New Year Resolution

Things weren't going too well for me for the past few months. My life took a drastic change. I'm not sure what happened.. but my fiance decided to call off the wedding. We split up thereafter and i've never heard of him since. I've tried to contact him as mom passed him a lot of kitchenware that I need him to return to me. And my phoneline..i need to get that fixed as well cuz it's a sub line from his.

Well..i do feel proud of myself for facing this strongly. I cried a few times after the shocking news..but that was it. I decided to move on and forget about the miserable times i'd been waiting for him to return to me. I made up my mind that he won't return. Something has changed in him.

Therefore, my new year resolution :

1. Make new friends

2. Get in touch with old friends

3. Join at least one activity

4. Go back to church

5. Come closer to God (meaning praying, bible reading is a must)

I hope i can do these with the guidance of my Lord. I've nothing to complain. All this while i've put aside my Lord and did things by my own will. And here I am..all failure. Regretting is not a wise move..therefore, i need a renewing strength to face new challenges in this new year.

With the strength you give me Lord, please guide me through the year 2011 so that i can be someone worthy of your praise! Amen..

Hairdo

My first experience to set my hair before a dinner.. recommended by my colleague, June, we went to Jazmon hair salon. Coco tagged along too..haha..i was the one who dragged her there actually. But she didn't resist my persuasion. :p We had fun.. watching June doing touch-up for her hair. She was there earlier than both of us but our hair were done faster. :p And here are my hair after wash and blow-dry.

I just want to look natural, so my hairstylist did a few big curls only. I was quite satisfied with the service cuz the price is quite reasonable..RM16.00 only. :) I also bought a nice pair of black heels to compliment with my black dress. Searched at Vincci but couldn't find one which I feel comfortable with. Didn't expect to get this nice pair of shoes from Orioli (kinta city) at RM47.90 only. Got 20% discount, hehe....

ABC Pet shop

Went to ABC pet shop in downtown Ipoh. They have lots of exotic pets such as Sphynx cat, monkeys, funny reptiles..saw one small albino turtle and took a photo of it. But not sure what it's called in english.. just know in Cantonese, 'sui yu'.

And these tortoises are trying so hard to climb on top of each other! :D I do not study about their nature so i'm not so sure why they do that..haha..looks funny to me.

Mother's Day

How did you spend your Mother's Day? I had dinner with mom and our Filipino maid, Agnes, on Sat night. Her children are all in the Philippines. I brought them to In Cafe, but the restaurant has moved. Then we drove back to town and stopped by at Capucino, a newly opened cafe opposite Elim Gospel Hall. It was a blessing in disguise as it was raining heavily when we arrived at In Cafe but the rain has subsided when we got to Capucino cafe. We had set dinner and everyone was happy with the food. It was a good outing.

On the actual day of Mother's Day, i bought two bouquets of flowers at Ipoh Parade. One for mom and one for my aunt, who has given my family shelter ever since my parents divorced. She's like a mother to me too. Since her children are not around..i need to do something to make her happy, right? :P

So here are the flowers that I gave them..lilies for my aunt and sunflowers for my mom. Mom is my sunshine. :D I sang her the first line of the song too..haha..

Mission: Search for insect killer

My colleague asked me to look for insect killer at any shopping mall i go to during the weekend cuz i usually will go to Kinta City or Ipoh Parade with my dad during the weekends. Well...my search in Tesco Extra (Pengkalan) was in vain. They do not sell such equipments. I was at Jusco today. Below are what I found..

From left: MYR59.90, MYR49.90, MYR19.90

From left: MYR39.90 and MYR165.00

Couldn't find any insect killer in Jusco. We need something like those used in restaurants. Mom suggested to check out those shops which sell restaurants equipments such as fridge, freezer..or electrical shop. Ya..maybe we will do that.

shanghai expo

Everybody is so excited of this expo and it was the topic during our lunch these days as one of my colleagues are going to visit Shanghai in June. I wish I can go..but..ya..but..my money is tight. I can't simply spend in order to save enough money for building a family. :P

What's interesting about this expo? Come visit this link..it's an interactive webpage. http://en.expo.cn/index.html#&c=home

You can browse through all the pavilions on the net. Haha..no need to go there personally, can view all the beautiful buildings already. Why spend so much? :P Which pavilion do you like? Hmm..if i go there, i definitely will visit China's, Poland, Iceland, Czech..Austria. But maybe only take a few pictures outside the pavilion. hehehe..the ticket is so expensive. Might as well spend some time visiting famous places in Shanghai!

Alright..so where should I go for my holidays? .....
