Hello People!!!

I'm back home now.. but unfortunately i lost my mobile during my month long stay in Beijing. Kindly drop me an sms, or a comment here with contact info so i can rebuild my contact list..

Thank you...

i've got myself a new site...www.shinzz.com visit and drop a line whenever u guys are free k....

chaos.. in the mean time multiply will be for uploading photos...

thank you...

wOw...new ipOd...i jus went to media mart unintentionally(well it was not a pre planned trip to mediamart..) and bought an ipod for myself..hmm..guess i'll hav to stay home for the nex few weeks to save $$ hehe...

on the exact same day, my cablecom modem arrived..(thats y i'm sticking to my laptop all the time now) installing it was pretty complicated cos my cd-rom is kaput.. so here comes the use of my new possession..iPod..with some help from eba's iPod, we first install my iPod to my laptop as iPod will be 'married' (according to eba) to my laptop..then using it to act as the harddisk to get all the info from the cablecom installer cd..(we copied all the cd content from edu's laptop..confusing rite?? ...)shall up date this later.. sleepy now.....

i`ve totally forgotten about the time change yesterday. luckily eba reminded me late last nite..time time is changed to an hour earlier so it means we got one hour less today....the reason of the time changed is balanced out the day time and night time... in summer time, the day is longer than the nite and winter, nite is longer..

Sunday and i`m sitting here again, nth much to do again..waiting for a group check in but no idea what time will they be arriving...got headache because of the rooms availability..directed three couples to another hotel as we are full house tonite and tmr...(i dont think i`m suppose to do that but what else can i do when they want a room but i dont have any rooms for them..??)

the Microsoft Outlook of this pc is not working so i cant checkor reply mails today..no idea what went wrong and there is noone around to help me.. tried to call my boss but he askedme to try fixing it on my own and if its still not working then leave it...(so responsible right??)

got a few phone calls but the callers only speaks german and my german level is...(better not mention) trying my level best to explain..(i hope they understand the ``hopeless german language` i speak) now i`m waiting to finish work today and get home...get ready to party tonite haha..

Marcel promised to take me to this disco since last year.. so after the dilly dally.. tonite is the night.. haha...

i finally felt that spring is here.. the sun is shining high n bright today..not windy, rainy or cold today..but too bad cant get out of this place and enjoy the good weather outside...

replying emails since i came to work at 11am.. now its only 1pm.. there are no reservations today and i dunnot wat can i do till 7 or 8pm later... maybe i`ll check the menus and stuff.. n go for my security checks every half an hour..(as if this place is as big as 1U...walking up and down in this place is not even tiring.. hmm European Hotels..so small...(i`m all alone now..even the housekeeping staff left cos she cleaned everything already) thinking thinking n thinking of things i can do later...mayb i`ll start talking to the wall...its so quiet today..what can i say, everyone is outside enjoying the nice sunny day (ppl here go crazy when they see the hot sun)

hmm.. i`m kinda sleepy now.. after two hours sitting here and with only 4hours of sleep last nite...i was out with vi and paul last nite after work.. went to this bar near the lion monument but the drinks there are not really that good..we guessed the best drink would be the `Pink Heaven` cos henry ordered another glass...i was quite hungry when we left and wat else, `tapao` McD`s Big Tasty..(no wonder i put on extra weight when i`m here...McD, kebab, sandwiches middle of the night.. what else can i expect) so vi will be here for some time.. touring europe as i mentioned before..

gtg now.. a few people coming in...AT LAST!!

hmm.... guess where am i now?? in the office in the hotel i`m working in... this two weeks i`m working in the reception as the restaurant is under renovation (again) and the receptionist is on a two weeks holidays.. hehe i`ve nth much to do actually.. mailing n calling some people for the grand opening of the restaurant onthe 6th of April.. n basic check in n check out stuff... thats all i do here from 3pm to 10pm...cool daiy routine rite??

Vi is bk in swiss for a Europe tour now.. hmmm so nice... not sure how long she will be staying in luzern..jus met up with her a few hours ago.. n gonna meet up with her later after i finish my hours here.. so should catch up later bout her.. hehe...

i`m practically still running around for my contract.. i hope MR HERMANN the great will be in this comin monday.. cos i really need my stamp n send this thing to the imigration office ASAP.. sheeshhh....i hope my permit will be done soon...hmm i guessed i should go now.. check all the doors..(arghh i`m also the part time security in this building hahaha) off the lights.. lock everything.. check for reservation for tmr.. post up reminders for tmr..and stuff like that... so tchuss....

(i still havent get my internet at home .. sheeshhhh)

SHEESSHHH>> Today its the 3rd day i came to IMI to see MR HERMANN>>>>my InTraining Manager...but he is always busy with all his meetings and appointments and the only time he is free is when i hav to go work...SHEESSHH>>>

i need to see him regarding my working contract.. which is not done yet since last month..my permit is not issued yet from the IMIGRA LUZERN cos there are no working contract to confirm the time limit for the permit..and guess what, MR HERMANN the hardworking one is askin me to talk to my boss on my own and my boss will ask me again to get confirmation from the sch.. my contract is overall in a mess now.. hope to get it done by next week...(dencoln if u r reading this.. thanks to ur suggestion.. but i think it wont work cos i jus saw him in the dining room wit .....n told me got meeting... )

i'm bk in switzerland for exactly one month last friday..and this is my first blog since i arrived..started working like normal after 6 days of partying with Esther and my Maldivian son, Eehab..i was travelling like mad to Zurich every few days.. the first days of work was ok but that was also the first day in my life i felt home sick.. (i guess what i felt was the feeling of home sick) i felt all alone in Luzern since Esther is in Zurich and my son is training in Huswil, some small village in the outskirt of Luzern. when i called home and heard my mom's voice i started crying like noones business... middle of the street in the phone booth..(embarassing to think of it now..) but after the first day that feeling jus went away just like that...this time back here things are a lil different.. dont hav the same feeling anymore.. not taking photos of snow anymore.. jus some.. hehe not very excited about everything anymore... well enough about my first week here...erm..

i'm officially 22 yesterday...esther and my son celebrated with me last sunday as they cant get off on the 5th.. got my present too.. hehe a crystal butterfly shape pendant from them.. thanks to esther, eehab, ker shin and sharon.. muakss!!! i snap some photos of it but everything in my SD card is gone.. mayb someone accidently reformatted the card.. but i still cant figure out why everything just dissapear..argggghhhh!!! but anyway on my birthday i have to work in the morning for breakfast buffet in the hotel. and the night b4 my lady boss and a few colleagues celebrated with me and we sang kareoke till 3am in Fondue House... thanks to Frau Moui, Frau Mein, Vishnu, and Bao... hehe... then went to Zurich at nite.. nothing xtra ordinary... now bout the present,they got me a necklace which i liked alot... hehe.. thanks esther n son, k.shin, n sharon

i finally got myself a room today.. now i'm paying 460CHF everymonth for that room.. i'm desperate to move out from the hotel where i was staying for the past one month.. i dont want to work n sleep in the same building everyday.. its not my type of living...need to get out of that place some time.....well going to apply for internet in the new room soon... hope to get to blog n update more soon...

Chinese New year once again.. as usual..family gathering.. cleaning.. cooking.. and catching up with all the cousins n relatives...
for me its the usual thing to go bk to Cameron Highlands..all my family members will gather in Cameron..ever since my grandma shifted to the new house, its kinda changed the family tradition of having meals outside.. (we used to dined out most of the time ) but since two years back we started cooking at home... that means more work

on the third day of CNY we had some family photos since everyone is bk and my aunt jus bought a new SLR camera.. hehe.. and for a photo freak like me.. hehe.. snap snap snap all the way...on the same day my bf came to visit too so had a couple of shots with him too.. hehe.. i've always wanted canon EOS 350D but till now havent save enough $$ to get one..when i came bk from Swiss in Sept last year i actually had enough $$ to buy myself a new SLR camera but considering i need the money for my nex trip back to Swiss, i decided my investment can wait a bit longer hehe...for the time being i will jus tick to my old camera..

here are some of the photos taken on that day.. the rest i will upload it into my gallery


looking at the quality of the photos .. we were all very satisfied and kept praising my aunt for her photography skill..
cant really see that we actually took photos by the roadside n also by the drain.. (those close up)hmm watda ya think???

anyway HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE...
GONG XI GONG XI!!!

Was in K.L for a night on Sunday. Met up with a few friends while visiting. The actual purpose of the trip to K.L was to change my contact lenses and also send my graduation video to be burn into a dvd.. ( all the fuss about the video camera capturing and editing.. i finally gave up and decided my editing is just not good enough)

Reach P.J before lunchtime and drop off my dad at his friend's place cos they have their own golfing plans and i'm off with my mom to Subang Parade. Did a little shopping for curtains at home and walked around in the mall for awhile before heading to my cousin sister's place


I was supposed to meet up with Ern and the rest of the ppl at 7pm but since i'm free earlier we got out earlier.Dencoln came and fetch me and suprisingly Iqa was in the car too, so Iqa just got bk from Swiss and is around town too.. We headed to Ern's house which is jus nearby and lepak there for some time till Iqa said she wanted to go to the saloon to WASH her HAIR..so again we went to Subang Parade. while waiting for Iqa to get ready, we walked around aimlessly

Then we fetched Ivan up and met up with Kew. The meeting place was in Lotus K.L but when we reached Lotus, there are some changes..We went all the way to Sentul Neili's Place... we didnt get a to seat at any of the special design tables at first but luck was on our side when a group left and we kinda beg the waiter to change our table order to another one.. complicated story actually but the point is we get to seat at the table which is build on the tree.

after dinner, we went bk to Lotus to meet up with two other friends.we went to fetched Dalson which was suppose to reach Pudu at 10pm but end up reaching at 11.30pm..(whats with the bus schedule?? dont they know how to keep track of time??) then we head home in a rush cos i was suppose to be a cinderella that reach home by 12..(if not everything will be torn n the car will turn into a pumpkin.. haha)
overall it was a good small gathering with everyone who turned up..

i wanted to go for photo shots all the time.. (duh i'm a photo freak..) i've always wanted.. liked to go for photo shots in the studio.. well the last time i went .. i was only 14... and that year i actually went twice cos one for for myself and the other was for family portrait kinda thingy..

as i planned..went for the shotings last monate..right b4 i end the year...
i reach the studio(sounds like pro)round 10smth in the morning.. went straight to hav my hair n make up done then around 11.30 we started shooting like noones business...changing... snaps again.. change..snaps.. thats all we did...
everything 'selesai' about 3.30pm..fast eh?? i had about 100shots and i'm suppose to only choose 30poses... my god how am i gonna do that i  wonder.. but in the end after hesitating n playing bk n fourth all the photos... i manage to choosed 30poses for the album that comes along with the package ..must be wondering wat happen to the rest of the photos rite??my bf  decided to develop all the rest thats not chosen into 4rphotos for me... how sweet.......
i hav to wait for about a month b4 everything is ready for pickup...

so i waited.. waited n waited for the day that seems to be forever....and finally.. last wednesday... my album is ready, the 4r photos are ready and also my self portrait 11r is ready... phew...
i was so happy when i finally get to collect it.. hehehe..

the sad thing is..when i got home showed my parents the photos.. they started complainin... 'how come the photographer take the picture like that wan?? cant see the whole head.. bla bla bla n bla bla bla....'
when i heard all that i was abit depressed... jus to make me feel better my mom said.. 'well ur photos looks nice but he jus didnt focus nicely...' hmmm i was wondering wats thats suppose to mean???

well anyway... its my album.. if i am happy with it.. satisfied with it.. anything else doesnt matter that much... overall i'm quite happy with the results of all the photos....

on the first day of year 2006, i was sick... thats how i celebrated new years day... great isnt it??
new year's eve was kinda boring.. no celebration, didnt go anywhere.. stayed home onlining and  watch television..well we kinda hav a small dinner at home.. (jus my family members) but i prepared dinner.. simple dinner menu la..

new year day i felt my whole body aching.. i definitely dont feel good the first thing in the morning.. mayb i didnt get enuff rest for the past few days.. not sleeping well...
i woke up n tried to get around like any normal days but i felt dizzy.. n cold even not under the fan... hmmm... so i went bk to bed.. there i was for the whole new year's day.. in the evening when my mom finally came in to check on me.. then i took two panadol and sleep somemore.. i guess its about 9smth that i woke up again feeling better cos i sweat alot staying under the blanky with the fan barely spinning...
then i took another two tablets of panadol c&f and slept again...
wow i notice now that i didnt eat anything yesterday.. hmmm if i'm sick for a few days i'm sure to put off alil excessive weight hhahaha..(just kidding)

thats how i spent my new years day.. sad isnt it. staying in bed the whole day of new year day?? but at least i got a good rest..i hope i get a good year ahead as i started of with a sick day hahahaha....
