business trip to klang valley day 1

 A business trip to KL. Intially it was a one day trip. However due to last minute thingy, all KL to penang flight were sold out, besides first class ticket. But I was happy to drive, since I need to carry a lot of stuff from HQ plus I can travel with sis as she having uni break now.

It was a rushing day though we leave penang at 7.30pm. We arrived at Empire Hotel at about 11pm however receptionist will only allow us to check in at 2pm. Hence, I went to Shah Alam Office to pass out my old laptop for data tranfering. Next we move to Empire Hotel, drop off nikki. Skip my lunch as I having a training at Kapar, somewhere in Setia Alam. This place is an industrial area. I couldnt find the factory and I was late. In between, a malay woman knock my car. I just cant help myself and shout to God's help. Finally, I found BSM. Too bad, the training just finished. The only thing i needs was miracle. Pray was my only thing i can do. Sheila, HR Manager was there, she asked me to join for next training, which fall on following week. My respond was cannot be. I told her manager will kill me if i miss it. She laughed and tried her best to talk with the trainer. Thank God, trainer *young and charm guy willing to stay back. After the training, I have to rush to HQ for a discussion and get my new laptop etc. Finally I can back to hotel at the time of 7pm for a 15minutes rest. Following program was steambot dinner with Jinny, Aaron and James. Crazy but fruitful day. Thanks Lord.

Well, this was my first time at Empire Hotel. The interior design is much better than concorde hotel. More stylist and spacious. Of course this has to be apple to apple comparion. What I mean is standard room. Concorde Premium room are still the best one by far.

Lovely wardobe

Stylist work desk

about 1.5m wide corridor to bed. Along the way  is bathroom

No bathtub, just shower. But I guess most asian are used with shower

A simply shot. Just to show how artistic photography am I..haha..

dream trip

Wonder how is the feeling of traveling alone with a backpack and camera..I guess it will be very fun if it happen in European countries, such as Spain, Italy etc. Dance with crowd at street, reading under apple tree, meeting new friends, having siesta on pearl grass, tasting local cuisine and red wine.. Just be myself..no rules, no bondage..wow..it's awesome and this has to be done !

Lord, I need some time-out !

Friend who can feel my heartbeats

What's an emo night. It this due to my accutane treatment, my performance in new job, previous broken relationship or ....i really dont know. I just know my wall is getting higher and thicker. And i just couldnt stop it. Sometime feel kind of lonely as i have not much friends in penang who i can fit in. It's totally different wavelength. Any how, I love it. Maybe i was born like this, i enjoy to spend time with myself. No sms, no call, no facebook..eat in front of notebook..chasing after series..as long as i got internet access, i just dont border anyone. I know it is unhealthy, but i just enjoy it so much. It's my comfort zone. 

Got to be balanced! Time to match out from my selfish world.

Lord, thank you for being the friend I can share with.

The provider of my zeal

Taken from Penang Curney Plaza

I lost my zeal in career, ambition and maybe life as well. Some how God always here to remind me that He cares. He did it by showing the verse through daily bread. No condemn, no anger but purely His love. His encouragement keep me awake and again i acknowledge that i cant live without Him. Lost the zeal in life is literally lost the joy. Just cant imagine how my life will be if I dont know Him. 

Sometime i just feel life is too dry and routine. Stress is something run always run after us. Whether we are a student, an employee, employer..we still have to face it. At once, i believe stress can be overcome by getting a lot of money or a good paid job..well, is this true? im suspicious. I've learned and told that stress can be overcome by trusting in God. His provision, grace and love are the elements. I experienced before. It 's true. But some how or rather i tends to choose my own way to encounter stress. It just simply human does not feel secure when thing is not under their control. Got to learn and lean my trust on Him. Else i will be dry up soon. Im tired to come out lots of ways and channels to encounter stress. It works but just for a moment. It does not help me to solve the problem. It make me getting worst when snow ball slowly become bigger and bigger.

Lord, thank for always being here. It's your love that keep me to move on. Thank you for telling me that you cares every single detail things in my life. My career, future, dreams, life partner..even my acne. You are so sweet.Cheers Lord. For the best life you have plan. I believe it's on the way now. In Jesus' name. Amen !

Mahjong with liquor nite

There is always a reason that God put four us in the same city. We encounter the same problem in the past one year. That  night was our first time to confess to each other that we need prayer and support. We are not strong, we do hate and struggle in forgiving. I was proud with Jinny that she eventually cried out all her struggles and hatred towards simon. The points I really salute her was she really invest all her love towards this relationship and she confess her "weakness" to three of us. That night was her time to vomit after consuming a certain amount of liquor. She was drunk. At the moment I wish I can drunk too. 

To me, I will never dare to tell anyone about this, even to my closer sister, Lia. I just hate to confess to others that I'm hurt, deeply hurt by him. After the broke up, I tried to hide as much as I can. I told myself that he was not worth for me to cry over. He is not worth for me to questioning God. I did try to put God as the first priority in this relationship, but why i have bear all this pain? Over this one year plus, I learn to forgive. I learn to be more indeependent. I learn to have my own activities. I tend to forget all the my uni memories. I tend to occupy my days with alot of activities so that i dont have a single moment to think about this. Even when I was alone, I will fully use the time to read, to watch series. I'm not afford to have a second to free my mind. I have to live as good as I can. But these are really out my control. It just pop out when I'm not aware. Sometime I thought I have recover, sometime I'm not. It happen whenever I met someone who is interested on me. I wish I can throw the past and have a new relationship. After a few trials, I knew I cant. I'm forbear  into a relationship. Especially their eye. The ways they see me as the way he see me in past. It really scare me. Their eye reminded me about the broken relationship. This really hold me back to take the first step. I guess I'm not fully ready to go for a new relationship. I wonder when will be the day I can totally let go and ready to move on into a new relationship. I wonder will this happen again? Besides God, will I ever meet someone who love me so much and willing to bring me out from this situation, to restore my faith in love? I'm curious..

I wish this confession will really help me to get rid of previous relationship. I'm just not ready to confess this face to face to anyone. Maybe I just not plan to do it also.But one thing I'm sure is I not angry with him anymore, just that the pain is still there. Glad when I found out this which I can talk to him like a normal friend.

Tan Sze-Lyn..you have to move on. Back to pg might be a good decision to start a new life.

Taipei day 2

Amazing morning in Taipei, Thanks Lord :)

Alley view from our guest house, so clean !

First mission : To have a authentic taiwanese breakfast - "Jia xiang diam xin dai wang" at jing hua street

Direction: Jing Mei MRT, 2nd exist. Turn left to Wang long. The shop is located at 1st junction of jing hua street.

Yummy !

We had a very simple breakfast here- soya bean and yau cha koay egg roll. Cheap, big and nice. Suit those chinese, especially Penangite. Cheap & Big is the fundamental criteria to Penang consumers. Anyway, the soya really thick and the egg roll quite crunchy. Ho Chiak!

书店街

There are around 40+ book shops along 书店街 which located at  重慶南路一段. Frankly speaking, there are nothing much about the street if you are not a book lover. Most of the books here are in mandarin. The only book shop which I will visit again is Elite book store. It a book complex, where you can find all sort of books here. Besides, this book store do have a cafe where reader can enjoy a cup of coffee while reading. 

Taipei 101

It just a walking distance from elite bookstore to Taipei 101 tower. The tallest skyscraper in the world at the moment. Well, something like KLCC, nothing much.

The tower as slim as me..hoho..shiok sendiri

 From there we walk to NewYork New York, so called youngster shopping mall. In deed this is a youngster shopping mall, suitable for those who think they are young enough. Here you can see many 'leng zai" "Leng Lui" here. Good for your eye? haha

On the way to NewYork x2

Zhao ji Ma lak Nui rou mian ( Super spicy beef noodle)

Tell you what? That is not spicy to a Malaysian. We even drink the soup like drinking water. And the aunty were amazed..

Wu fen pu (Wholesale market place)

Wu fen Pu ( Wholesale Market Place) is a must to tourist where you can get cheap fashion here. Operating hour is from 3pm t0 12 midnight. Try not to go on Monday as Monday is reserved for wholesaler. Frankly speaking, we are not the type who love to shop, hence this place is not really attractive to both of us. We prefer food :P  We went there because we need to get some t-shirts for rest of the days in Taipei. 

Raohe Street Night Market

Okay, tonight we went Raohe Night Market for our dinner as this night market quite near to wufenpu. We try almost every snacks, like duck blood with chao tao fu. chao tao fu soup etc. 


After dinner, we lost as we could'nt find the direction to MRT. Thank God for sending us an angle. She was so nice and she even walk us to MRT station. 

our supper

Day shall be more perfect with all kinds of snacks as supper :)

Taipei day 1

" OH NO! Yen, wake up, we were late ! " Flight at 10am, but we have to check in 2 hours before flight. From puchong to KL sentral and from there to LCCT..hmm..we need to leave puchong at 5.30am ! Anyway, we were so willing to sacrify our sleeping time..haha..

Really thank God that we were manage to check in on time and...we got window seat ! hee.. It was a 4hours 30 minutes flight..kinda boring in fact..

Finally...after so many years, our dream came true ! How come the grass here is greener than Malaysia? haha...oh shit, everyone speak mandarin..really no used with it, but still we love it so much..okok ! the first thing we need to do is to get our digital buddy handphone. We make the registration two weeks before we went taiwan.

After we bought bus tickets, then only i remember something..My initial plan is to take bullet train to taipei. but maybe too tired, i've forgot about it. Aiya..end up we took "feigou" bus instead bullet train to taipei main station..From Taipei main station, we took MRT to JingMei, where we have booked a room there.

What a cozy room

okay, no bad ! This is our room. It is only 2minutes walk from JingMei MRT 2nd exist. Nearby here do have 7-11 and 24hours Ding Hao Convenience shop ! Indeed, it is really convenience ! The first shop we visited was 7-11, because as we know Taiwan 7-11 is so much advanced than Malaysia..Man, this is no a legend !

At about 6.30pm, we went to Shida Night Market..It might not thr biggest night market in Taipei, but I love it so much because it is just nice for both of us to explore and food here are damn nice !

MUST EAT "Liang Mian"(cold noodles)

This is the most delicious "Liang Mian" as far for me. The boss won a few gold medal in a few competition. The price is reasonable and people here are so friendly ! After taking our dinner, we did try a few taiwanese snacks.

Their "ke lit bin" are damn big ! Maybe too full, both of us cant even finish one ke lit bin ! haha.. but there are so many nice food wor..hmm..then we dabao some foods for supper lar.

After a few hours walk, we decided to take MRT back to JingMei. Maybe too excited, we went JingMei night market as well. It is also a few minutes walking distance from our guest house. JingMei night market no so happening if compared to Shida, but the "lu Wei' here is quite nice.
