Manila, Philippines 11 - 14 December 2013

Guess what?

I have slowed down ALOT on updating all my social medias. 

I guessed my life is just not as open and declare-able as other bloggers.  I do not like to be in the limelight, chasing for attention and not a selfie fanatic.  Hardly a person crazy of taking pics, I have not much pics to show or create envy on others.  Instead, my medias are slowly accumulating and following posts nearer to my personality and of stabbing concern to my conscious.  My surroundings are changing where there are more pressing issues that should be dealt with.  I am evolving and becoming a......... FOLLOWER!! OMG, a LIKER!! OMG, goddamnit, a READER!!  WTF!  Okay lah, I have become a behind the scene person.  You all go out and conquer the stage la, I'll just stay backstage and play with the curtains. Hahahaha, so pity meh?  Hahahaha, okay la, I play with the props. :PPP

Flight Z2 502, ready for boarding 

I have a goal though.  My ultimate goal is to one day be able to make a greater impact in my life by being the secret angel to the needy.  What's a secret angel?  Hahahaha, I adopted this term from the HK drama "The Hippocratic Crush II".  Hahahaha, those who have watched the drama would know lah.  Dun wanna explain too much here.  Go and watch it youself. Hahahaha. 

I do not need to be recognise, I do not need to be acknowledge, I just want to help in silent and maintain my peace.  Bearing in mind, I have my naive and silly side geh, with my occasional random entries. Okay, enough of me me me me, shall we move on to........ more me me me me?  Hahahaha.

Air Asia Zest.......... Good, not bad.

So as per the title, I flew to the capital of the archipelago Philippines.  Metro Manila, very fascinating le, totally out of my "perception" of how this country is.  Can't help it as the medias are always showing the country plague with natural disaster and their dilapidated lifestyle.  I am sure the majority of us have the same perception coz people find it weird that i decided to make Manila my holiday destination, a place that's perceive worse than Kota Kinabalu.  Little did they know, this metropolitan city is actually very vibrant and very much flourish with its local commotion. 

Not only was it once, but on 2 occasions, I thought I was touched by angels.  The people are friendly and willing to help.  I'll tell more next time, coz I wanna share pics of my trip now.  Kinda lazy to elaborate my experience for now. Hahaha.  I had earlier compiled my pics in a slide presentation, but the presentation didn't go well.  I was frustrate at that time which had caused this post late.  It was supposed to come out in Dec 2013.  Anyway, dun wanna dampen my positive attitude.  A little upset should not cause my whole life to crumble down. Yo!!

Perfect weather for a window seated view

I have all the intention to embed my video here.  But being youtube retard, i opt for the easier option.  Of course, didn't turn out as expected. :(  Do not understand why they like to smudge some pictures of mine.... do not understand why its always targeting the face area.  :(((  Heck, if you do not mind our ghostly appearance, here's the link.  Yea, by link. Enjoy!!

Year 2013 : My Mid Year Review

Hello there! 

Some of you may know that I am on my office annual leave for 3 days.  Well, its ending soon with Monday just around the corner.  Its back to working mode by then. 

With this break, I took the liberty of spending some quality time being at peace with myself, and doing the things that I like or even catching up some tasks I had delay for some time.  Hence, the 1st thing that I did was to send my car for a badly needed service.  Oh boy, you would not have believe how much a Kelisa could cost you for a thorough service.  I paid RM430 + RM225 + RM80 + RM50.  So how much is that? 

RM430 for engine and under the car (what do you call that part where they hoist your car up and check the gadgets beneath your vehicle?  I don't know.  So I'll just go with under the car then :P)

RM225 for servicing of car air conditioner. Its now Brrrr-ing cold ;D

RM80 for the car being lifted back to workshop when one of the replaced part was not functioning IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD!!  This was on the 3rd day after servicing it which had cause me missing a bloggers meet up opportunity >:( 

RM50 for cleaning, vacumming and polishing.  I added polish coz my car has lost its shine.  From the way I see it, more polishing is needed.  Sigh :( 

Fine! So I paid a hefty sum for car servicing.  And more to come too.  Yet, this does not happen everyday.  Its just a small fraction to pay when you realise how much it has given back to me.  Bringing me to places where I needed to be and accomplishing my everyday task because it has been loyal to me.  Its just something I need to do to allow myself to travel further and accomplish more.   

So here's a pic of how my baby blue car looks like now.

Duh! Look just like any other ordinary Kelisa. Lololol :P

Then there is also the badly needed clearing of my stuff from Cheeky's room.  My growing child needs to have his own space.  You wouldn't believe how messy these stuff had accumulated to.   

After some loving, tender and caring-ness, the full of mommy's way, this is the end result:   

Some of my stuff are still there.  Sorry Cheeky.  But mommy is helpless of ideas where to store my stuff.  Hence still needing a tiny bit of your shelf space, pls *battering weepy eyes. 

Of course I've done many more other things during this break, but I guess the better part was having my big day just the way I enjoyed it.  Quiet time enjoying my dessert"S" (literally) while watching the busy commotion across the street from my seat.  I was at the Mosaic, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu at that time.  A good reflection to myself to not fall into the trap of what's at the opposite side of the street but to keep focusing on reaching my intended destiny.   

One fine birthday.... err?.... day :P

Oh, and 1 more accomplishment unlocked, this is my 52nd blog entry.  A year ago, I aimed to hit this number by last year's end.  Of course, I didn't make it.  Today, I have finally done it, albeit late.  But hey,.....

I'VE DONE IT!! Yes, successkid.jpg.

Updates 20130331 & The Movie: The Croods

Today is the last school day break for Cheeky & Manja.  And frankly, I have again not make much of time for them.  Manja spends most of his time with the bbsitter & all other children under her care while Cheeky was between tuition and swimming lessons.  Yet, I am grateful for there are people around me who have been helping in the caring department, ensuring there isn't less love to spread in this family.   

As the new year 2013 turns out, I am ever more busier with my day job and personal commitments.  I took up some projects be it for my office or myself.  If you are asking whether all these are worth it, I would say YES.  How is this worth it?  For the family, I am a provider, ensuring a roof above our heads.  Sometime ago, I read a post on a family's financial hardship, that nothing was right for them, that their family was without choice and were left to defend for survival.  I empathize for them.  The comments that came along with the post were suggestive solutions, yet because of rage, nothing was pick up from the comments.  The rage also causes others not to comment further.  I was a side spectator, though empathize, but if suggestions are just by-passing, well, I'll just remain as a side spectator.  Y being caught in cyber bullying?  Not worth it.  I'll just keep enjoying my latte instead. 

Back to my worthy topic, reason no. 2, 'coz I am on a learning curve to handle adversity.  They say if you stay stationary, you learn nothing, you do not progress.  And soon you'll be by-pass by others who are willing to accept challenges and are willing to build a very very strong vault that no situation is able to shake their superiority.  You become wiser with the experience gained.  You practice wisdom of the wise.   

I am lucky for I have great mentors guiding me.  This personal development is slowly bearing fruit.  What I have visioned my future no longer is a pipe dream, but getting closer and closer to the light.  Which brings me to this movie:

 

I watched this movie last night with my kids (So I wasn't totally not spending time with them, eh??).  The storyline was simple and easy to understand.  It has somehow touch the simple meaning of if we remain in our comfort zone i.e. staying stationary, we'll become extinct soon. 

The truth is situation and environment is always evolving, we can't ignore it.  Ignorance is why your comfort zone is getting smaller and tighter.  Ignorance of change equals limiting yourself.  So why set the boundary?  Why live in a cave? 

I am glad I watched this movie.  Its rated PG13 in Malaysia.  You can refer to other sites for movie review.  As for me, I'm going to purchase and keep it in my movie library once release and available in DVD.  There are alot of great movies out there.  But those with positive message and values are what I appreciate most.  'Coz these values are the very essence of what humans are supposed to be. 

No cyber bullying.  No road bullies.  No bearing grudges for people moving ahead of you.  Selfish people thought time will stop for them and every other people will have to wait for them to move before they do. Y should progress be deter? 

If everyone is willing to put effort in making life better, don't you think heaven is on earth?

2012 Year End Trip to Genting Highlands

Hola,

I am back from my holidays. Took me a week post-trip to update here.  Was at Genting Highlands & Kuala Lumpur for 2 nights each.   

From my tiny room @ First World Hotel, Resorts World, Genting Highlands

1st stop Genting Highlands :

The trip involved besides the vkitty family, I brought along dear dad and dear mom.  The whole trip was decided late which costs me a BOMB!!  Yup, yours truly sponsored the return airtickets and accommodations throughout this trip.  Hence, the surge use of my cc which was shown in my last update :P.

Nevertheless, the consolation must be the tiny room I stayed at Genting which was free from the points exchanged from my parent's Genting cards :PP.  LOL, they have been accumulating points from the several sessions with their "friends", the ka-ching ka-ching machines.  The Genting casino was their main agenda when passing time, while I brought my loves around the indoor park with all the amusements and rides.  The outdoor park was closed 'coz of the weather.  Throughout our 2 nights stay, it was cold and windy.  My Gosh!, the place was covered by THICK FOG!  Brrrr!....... well, at least it feels kinda christmas-y, I guess??

I didn't managed to snap alot of pics for this trip.  No one was interested in taking pics T___T. Everyone were there for the fun element.

 The fun-s!

Indoor theme park at RM102 for 2 adults and 2 children : Neh, been there before, rode many-many times, the same rides since my previous trip before this. Genting, y u no new rides? Oh BTW, everyone were hogging the indoor rides since the outdoor ones were closed.  Yes, the queues were very, very, very, veeeeeerry LONG!

eZICash for arcade games : I think there's either RM4 or 8 left in the card T_____T 

So you r the tallest, eh?

Ripley's Believe It or Not Exhibition : Paid RM80 for 2 adults and 2 kids.  I'm swaying towards worthwhile to spend this amount as there are some really weird stuff on display there.  So weird that Manja was begging to leave and wouldn't wanna finish the entire exhibition.  In the end before Manja goes hysterical, I had to hastily leave and return to the entrance with him while Beary & Cheeky were finishing the exhibition and exiting from the Exit way.  The result was me given an ear full from Beary for Manja's manja-ness.  Soooo worth it, right???  T______T.  (Pun intended.  But really, its a good exhibition).

Digiphoto : Pics taken by others to claim at their pic booths.  I think this needs to be paid.  Dun know the price. See, got pics taken oso didn't wanna grab them. 

The trip has been a delightful experience for everyone.  A tiring one, nevertheless, packed with lots of fun.  And my fun started even before I reach KL.

Shopping!!

TANGS LOVES ME!!  The TANGS Sale was at Genting!!   

Thank god I bought something there as I didn't make it to Pavilion nor create my inaugural journey on the bridge linking KLCC. Thank you TANGS for bringing your sale to me ^_^.  Really needed to get new shoes as my loafers was killing me by biting my heels.... Both!!  I ended wearing my sandals the whole time.  

Before I reach Genting, my dear sis was whatsapp-ing me: 

Me         : Oh yes! Arriving KL 15 mins earlier.
Dear Sis : Bah sdah sampai big city jgn macam Sam pa lau k! 

Well, sorry to disappoint you Sis, but my instinct was to be comfortable and not to allow further damage to my feet.  So here's a pic of me in my sandals, my Sam pa lau style ;D :

Freakin' cold with love......... from Genting Highlands

Ending this post by wishing everyone and counting down to : HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013!!

♥ ♥ ♥

** RM46,711.87. ~ Did I give you a shock?  That's a major difference from the last update.  Feels great to end my 2012 with the cc reduction. YES!  More MM posts soon ;).

I'm Watching : The Last Steep Ascent "天梯"

Have I mention of my hobby before?

Of course I did, It's under my "About This Blog" page.  Well, other than my infatuation on skincare, I also love catching Ns & Ns episodes of Hong Kong TVB dramas.  And so I am currently on my heels with the 19th of the 25 episodes of this:

TVB Drama, The Last Steep Ascent "天梯"

Allow me to tell you why I'm dedicating a blog post on this here:

1)  It's been ages since I last catch a TVB drama.  The last time was in May 2012 when my face and slender figure (ahem!!) were decorated with some of the biggest & gunkiest chick pox.  OMG!!  Nevertheless,  I love the 2 weeks rest constrained by my doctor. ♥

2)  The acting casts consist of some of the most talented artistes. ♥

3)  Some parts of the drama were based on a true story.  I did not know about this.  The sales lady told me so when I was making a decision on purchasing this drama.  Yet, little did I bother what she mentioned to me though.

Hence, as I was leisurely going through episodes of the drama, my sub-conscious mind kept reminding me of what the saleslady said.  By my 8th episode, on a fine November 2nd evening, this news crept up in our local newspaper:

click for larger image

Okay, I do not read chinese, but my outburst of love (COUGH!! AHEM!!) melted Beary's heart which he interpreted for me :-P .  The title of the news said of "The Love Staircase" woman passed away at age 87. 

It was then that I got to know more about this love story.  The man passed away in 2007 who was 10 years younger than her.  During their time, there were alot of stirs and pressure because of their background, hence, they've eloped to a remote area on a hill to avoid this shaken situation.  The woman left behind her 4 loving children.  Because of the man's understanding of her love for her children, he started in building the 6,000 steps stone staircase with the minimal tools he had.    He has dedicated a great amount of his life in HANDCARVING the stairs (made of STONE!! Did I emphasize myself??)  and taking care of her.  But due to his chronic illness, he succumbed to his death.

The TVB drama drew similarity to the love story, but as its a drama, of course the storyline was ever more dramatic with the added salt and vinegar.  After 2 days of spending what little available me time I had, I am almost finishing my chase of this drama.  6 MORE EPISODES TO GO!!! I have not come to the part of him carving the stairs.  Not even 1 single step!!! I'm crying in agony D-:

When is my next available me time???? D-:

Sometimes, I feel my life would be better being a yellow faced aunty so that I could enjoy my hobby and start kepoh-ing with the other aunties.  U know, nowadays, even the yellow faced aunties are having rosier cheeks than me.  Obviously, they have a not as stressful life when compared to mine. Not meh?

** RM59,006.62   If you think this is alot, wait till the next few months figure.  I am anticipating, r u?  Lololol.

2/3 Gone, 1/3 Remain

One day, I saw this and re-tweeted on twitter-sphere:

Without realising, 2/3 of the year 2012 had just gone by and now with only 120 days left at my disposal, which quickly reminded me of the resolution I made earlier.  So a swift reference to what I have determined way back in January 4, here's what I have done (unveiling the good and the bad O.o) :

1) To blog twice a week.

PHAILED!! Terribly failing in this department.  Before realising how mad busy a person I am, I thought I was able to do it.  When the initial signs crept up signaling that it is no longer possible for my situation, I thought "Okaaaay....., how about by averaging, it doesn't have to be 2  posts a week, just as long I have 104 entries a year".  Guess what?

PHAILED!!  FML!!  I got busier than anticipated.  To have 104 entries is totally out of reach.  To compensate, I slashed the target by 50%, 52 it'll be which by averaging, its 1 post a week.  To date, am having 37 entries including this, so, I hope this adjusted target is reachable.  Even if it does not, as long as the posts are with content, I am happy.  So, a minimum of 15 posts to go before year end.  Can I do it?  FML! FML! Major F-king my life!

2) To reduce my credit card debts.

Needless to say, I have been updating every month of my latest figures. And the most updated numbers are shown at the end of this post. Although I have somewhat made progress, but you will soon find out I may be going back to where I started. Approaching year end is always an out of pocket situation in this yearly life cycle of mine. WTF, mucho F-king my life again! Awwww, sucking my yearly dejavu rendesvous *blackened long face*.

3) Making this world a better place to live in.

At times, I see progress.  Other times, it gets worse.  Just where are we heading?  My hope is all for moving forward positively.  Make this a better world to live in.  Help as many people as possible. There are people in need, much more needing attention than I do.  Hence, I'm putting on my "for life betterment" hat by helping out in the coming KK Befrienders World Suicide Prevention Day Awareness Walk, to be held on Sept 9, 6.30am at the Likas Sports Complex, Kota Kinabalu.  The theme is "Life is Precious".  Indeed its precious, so come and assemble at the carpark fronting the Indoor Climbing Centre.  I'll be passing you one of these bands. ;-) Click on the above link to find out more of the programme.  Lucky draws include winning iPads and other peripherals.

4) To do more travelling

I did.  I went up to Ranau to enjoy the cooling environment & seeing the majestic Mount Kinabalu at a near distance and I went down to Kinarut to enjoy the beach side which still quite untouched as compared to the beaches up north near Tuaran.  Yet, they do not give me the satisfying ummph of enriching my knowledge nor life.  So, I made a 180° diversion and arranged a year end trip to KL which is totally unintended for.  AND NOW YOU KNOW WHY my item 2) is mentioned as such.  YEAR END TRIPS ARE NOT CHEAP!  Well, even KL may not be the ideal place to go to as I have been there for Ns and Ns of times. Sigh, at least the H&M store will be opened by then and I may leave my footprints on the corridor/walkway leading to KLCC from Pavilion. :P  What a lame life I have.  I just hope this trip will fulfil my emptiness and meet my need for enrichment.  Oh, and also to give Cheeky and Manja the much needed adventure and discovery beyond their usual locality.  The boys have only travel on planes not more than the count of fingers on 1 hand. FTL & FML, I'm a bad mommy, lazy in planning and packing luggage :P.

5) To get a purse.

This is easy.  And is supposed to be the 1st to achieve. But guess what?  Here's the purse I'm still using :

Well, maybe I'll finally find one in KL.  Or maybe the right one will appear before my eyes soon.  Just do not understand why it is so hard for me to get one that I like. Did the world ran out of things I want?  Ya, I'm all grumpy, but that's okay.  On a forethought, I love window shopping.  So visiting shopping malls and their stores again and again is a pleasure stroll for me.  How about you?

So, with 120 days in our pocket, that is if you're counting from Sep 2, or lesser if you believe in the Nostradamus prophecy and Mayan Calendar, how awesome will you make this year to end?  Lets buck up and drive our life to awesome-ness! I'm all for the win!! FTW!!

My July 2012 Wrap-up

This post will be similar to my supposed weekly blessings posts which I have........ er, er........ infamously failed to produce one for each & every week. :P  My attempt to create a fix intervals for scheduling & updating myself failed tremendously.  Not only did I not blog at least once a week, I have also broke my 2012 resolution to deliver what's pledged. I cry..... Wahhh, WHAAHHH!!, wahhhhh  :'(  (Yup, i just wailed :-PPP)  Okaylah, stop with this pathetic attention seeking wailing!!

The truth is, there are blessings every month.  Each and every month everyone is showered with blessings.  Some may come in the form of spiritual, others may come as satisfaction or even material sake.  Even when I face grunges and disappointments, I take them as opportunities in learning something new and strength by strength, I build up my wisdom and confident.

Opportunity often comes in disguised in the form 

of misfortune, or temporary defeat - Napoleon Hill 

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist 

sees the opportunity in every difficulty - Winston Churchill

The month of July has always been special to me.  Full of excitement, nonetheless, before I appreciate it, it breezes through before my very eyes.  This time, I'm going to make sure its being broadcast and with it, me expressing my gratitude.  Hence, here I list my top 3 blessings for July 2012:

1) Meeting and Getting to Know Peers of Common Interest

The path is often lonely when travel alone. But when in group/s, this traveling becomes more meaningful and interesting.  I am glad my scope of friends is getting wider.  Having friends of common interest is a plus bonus.  This interest I'm talking about is non-other than blogging.  Yes, we are fabulous!! ♥ 

2) My Surprise Party

Never have I thought this would happen to me.  I treated this day the same as everyday.  At times, I disregard myself as a unique individual with a special day dedicated to me every year.  I thank my colleague for thinking otherwise.  And with her initiative, cooked up a surprise birthday gathering in my office.  Thank you Siti! ♥

3) Supporting My Homegrown Local Talent

I MET HIM AGAIN!  I don't always get to know or to even come close to any entertainment industry artists. They seem so far away and vague to my comprehension. But this guy is warm, friendly, and cheerful. His talent is more than just singing, he composes music and writes lyrics too. His performance is beyond just good. He is worthy to be notice. And being a thriving Sabahan, I am all to support our local talent. He is Appy!

Sabah is a land of beautiful wonders, and he is no exception.  I support!  Thank you for the music ♥.

That's my top 3.  Have you count your blessings?

Desserts @ ZenQ Desserts Lintas Square

Hello, I'm Cheeky, the eldest son of my mom.  My mom is the owner of this blog.  Today, she'll be featuring me & my experience here.  I will be telling the story of my maiden visit to ZenQ Desserts Lintas Square, a Taiwanese dessert house offering a diverse range of traditional  hand made desserts.  Yup, this is my 1st trip there, since it opened for business many-many moons ago.  Errr, please do not be mistaken of my moons imagining a very old shop ya, 'coz this dessert house is fairly new operating since year 2011.

From the main entrance, this place always looks full.  Hence, the reason why we never patron this place until now.  But b'coz dad was the one driving #likeaboss & the afternoon heat was fuming him up, we ended here tasting my first ZenQ dessert.  Whee!!.... I love discovering new places and stuff. 

As usual, the place looked full with aunties, uncles, jie-jie & gor-gor, cooling in the air-conditioned shop.  We have no place to sit.  But do not be deceive, for there are more seats situated behind the shop.  They've decorated the area with a green patio feel.  And guess what?? Shaded with ceiling fans to ease the heat!!  So, it wasn't as hot as what mom had anticipate.  If you know my mom, she's a "leceh" person, cannot too hot la, cannot too cold la, cannot without breeze la, cannot too windy later "kacau" her hair la, too heaty later make-up melts la, cannot be dirty la, etc.  Sigh, GIRLS!!

OK boh?

The pic turned greenish 'coz the shade on top of the building is of greenish hue.   

Dad usually does the ordering while mom pays, and here's what I got:

Shaved ice with mix fresh fruits @ RM8.90

Digging time!! Sharing my yums with my li'l brother, Manja.

Pretty soon, mom wasn't as uncomfortable anymore as we had our big bowl of icy cool dessert.  Dad was no longer fuming too for he finished his bowl of taro+sago dessert which he felt the taste was ordinarily average only.  And soon more people were joining us sitting at the "green patio" area.  

Ahh!! Life is good, except for areas that looked unpleasing
eg. the unsightly bucket, mop & similar seen here.

Besides hot and cold desserts, they serve a variety of snacking items too.  So its not all drinks, but eat too.  Didn't order any on that day.  Nevertheless, click here to know more about ZenQ Desserts and locations throughout Malaysia.

For more specific information about this branch / concept store itself: 

ZenQ Desserts Lintas Square
Lot 23 (DBKK 13-0), Ground Floor, Block C,
Lintas Square, 88300  Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
Tel: 088-230 982

Operating hours: 11.30am - 11.30pm

So why not make yourself a trip there?  I would surely try out other varieties should I one day return.  For this, will need to depend on whenever dad and/or mom decide to savor, hopefully soon ;-).  Well, that's all I can say on this episode of my experience :-).

Oh ya, if you are wondering why my mom has not been blogging of recent, its because everyone is hogging the only notebook still functioning in the house.  The ones dad & I usually control broke down :-P  But pssst!!, tell you a secret, mommy is going to get her very own netbook soon. And according to her, it'll  be for her exclusive use & no more sharing.  Hooray!!  The existing one will be mine!!  I love you mom ♥ ♥

♥ ♥ ♥

** RM50,263.28.  This is mommy, biting her nails and gritting her teeth.  So near yet so far!! Almost bye-byeing the dominant 5!! Dominant 2, I'm moving closer to youuuuuuu........ focus, focus, focus!!

The Musical Fountain @ Perdana Park, Kota Kinabalu

This is my 3rd trip to this place since it was officially declared open way back in January 2011.  The Vkitty family had just enjoyed our dinner and wanted to kill some time.  It was the eve of the Sabah State's Harvest Festival celebration & holiday.  The weather was warm..... even at night.  :O

Equipped with a camera,  we headed to the Perdana Park with an aim to be entertained by the musical fountain.  Daily shows start from 7pm till 9pm, with 4 show slots at 15 mins interval with another 15 mins rest in between shows. (T____T , don't know whether you get what I mean here??) 

These pics were taken by Beary:

Ahem, this one was taken by yours truly.  The only one ;-).  B4 the show.

Spectacular "dances" I reckon :-) 

Besides the musical fountain entertainment, we strolled the entire park too.  In fact this is my first attempt circling the park on this 3rd visit. :-P   

My 1st visit, last year : All the rave of the new park and the musical fountain.  Hence, was there just for the fountain sake. 

My 2nd visit, last year : On a hot afternoon.  Don't know y the beach bar ran out of coconuts.  We ended at Perdana Park and got ourselves 2 pandan coconuts instead. :P  Was desperate to satisfy the craving for the refreshing juice but not crazy enough to patron the nearby beach stalls. (I have my own reason y I do not patron these stalls).

And these are the remaining pics taken by Beary for the night:

Resting "pondok" i.e. a shed & red pathways for light stroll/jog.

The well lit park with its man-made pond. 

View of the musical fountain from a different angle.

Cheeky & Manja, fascinated by the "squirting" dance

High high up into the air.  

I like to stand near the railings so that I could feel the water droplets ;-) 

I am glad the park is still well and neatly maintained.  New eateries are mushrooming with reasonable prices stated on their menus.  Too bad I just had my dinner.  Nevertheless, I shall make an effort to try out their interesting dishes in my next trip, which will definitely be sooner than later. ;-)

Oh, btw, b4 I forget, 2 very important info to note:  

1) The carpark entrance fee is still at RM1 per entry.  

2) Entrance to the park and show is F.O.C.

MSAM 2012

About many-many moons ago, the local papers were carrying an advertisement for several days and it looked like this:

MSAM 2012, that's what it is.  2 large house like tents were manned at our KK Sports Complex compound.  MSAM stands for ""Minggu Saham Amanah Malaysia", organised by PNB and ASNB.  I am quite confident that all Malaysians know who they are, err...... unless you are living in a cocoon :-P.

According to their statistics, Sabahans are the largest group of people putting their money in their trust funds.  All sorts there are, all of them starts with the letter "A", followed by "S" and the remaining of anything.  Since this is the first time such big event is being held in KK, I explored what's there to muse myself of.  I was there awhile ago. *grin.........  I hardworking or naut..... this story so freshie.... I could not believe it myself, the antonym of lazy wo.

So here are the pics I took, or rather Beary was the one taking pics with my phone.  My camera konked out, remember?  I'm still thriving in deciding a good replacement camera.  Can't someone invent a camera with wifi connection?  For quick uploading?  Or is there one in the market that I didn't know of (myself living in a cocoon :-PP) 

 I gained weight.  Shut up!! (Maybe its the angle? *wishful thinking)

Inside the tent.  Alot of interactive displays.  Oooo..... Impressive.

Behind me, people mountain people sea.

If you are wondering, I was there after dinner...... still in my working clothes.  Yes, that's how I looked like everyday at work.  Of course, in the morning the perfect fresh look with make-up.  By afternoon, I didn't even bother to do any touch-up, not even lipstick.  Like I said, I'm not a make-up girl.  

Guess who're with me in this pic?

LOL, this is a funny game.  But I heard a lot of people
won something from this.  Care to try? 

Snakes and ladders game for the youngs.

Chop! Chop! Chop!

No, I do not know what the commotion was about or rather why everyone were holding either a red or silver coloured booklet.  They got it at the entrance.  I didn't bother to queue for it 'coz I was never a lucky girl.  Never won anything at random in my life.  *yao ming disgust face* 

And finally, my portrayal of Victoria Beckham and her Evogue.  Do I have her coolness? Her chic-ness?   *vomit rainbow.  Maybe not.  Okay-la, not the newly launched special edition.  But a girl can dream, right?

Oh god, I have got to get a new camera.  These pics looked bad :( 

There are still alot more to offer in this exhibition as there are various booths being displayed.  If you are curious as on which share counters does PNB or ASNB chuck its confident in, this is a good place to start.    The whole idea of this exhibition is to provide exposure and creating awareness to the public on unit trust / mutual fund investment.  Y not organise a visit by sunrise?  'Coz that will be the last day of the exhibition :O.

As for me, its nearly 2am.  Snoozing off time.  Nightey sweets *smooch.

** My figure is so anti in comparison with the exhibition's mission.  Need to refocus after a much much love spending spree.  No, I did not regret.  A girl needs to feel fabulous..... and that's what I did ♥ ♥ ♥ .

** BTW, something to ponder upon.  Got this from the exhibition:
