A Special Mom..

2009-12-14T14:31:00.000+08:00

Mom, this is specially for you:

Everywhere, anytime,

A call and she'll be there

Cooking, sewing, cleaning,

She never fails fulfilling.

'Sit down, would you?'

'No, I can't'

Every day's routine,

She never complains.

Up and down, left and right,

She will always be there,

Working all the time,

In hope of a better life.

Hardship and endurance,

Is what she keeps.

Love and patience,

Is what she gives..

Which makes her a special mom..

Is It You?

2009-12-14T14:24:00.001+08:00

The face I've dreamt so often

The touch that keeps me warm

The smell that lingers

The voice that calls out to me

Is it you?

The passion that burns in me

The strength that lifts me up

The courage that makes me strong

The voice that calls out to me

Is it you?

Why...?

2009-10-14T14:40:00.000+08:00

Why…?

Why are they telling me things I don’t want to hear?

Why are they telling me things as if I could change the world?

Why are they depending on me when I am fragile?

Why does life have to treat me this very way?

Why are they controlling me like a puppet sashaying to the command of the performer?

Why are they not giving me a space to breathe?

Why are they not giving me a chance to lead the life I ever wanted?

Why does life have to treat me this very way?

Why can’t they understand my heart desires?

Why can’t they understand that all I ever wanted is peace?

Why can’t they see unhappiness is written all over my face?

Why does life have to treat me this very way?

Clueless

I'm clueless as to what I want to write here. I've got a million things going inside my head now. I just don't know what I should write here and I am feeling so tired. I probably should blog about it some other day.

25 September 09: Memory Test

2009-09-26T20:59:00.000+08:00

I was trying very hard to remember “Incorporation of Private Company Limited by Shares” the whole day (in front of the computer while scanning a book) but doesn’t seem successful.. Let me test my own memory now.

Incorporation of a Private Company Limited by Shares

1. Submit Form 13A to the Registrar (RM 30.00) [Section 22(6)]

2. Name is reserved for a period of 3 months from the date of approval.

3. Lodge the following documents within 3 months of (2) with the appropriate payment of fees for authorized capital (Second Schedule of CA):

a. M&A duly stamped & signed by promoters & First Directors

b. Form 6 [Section 16(2)]

c. Copy of NRIC of promoters, directors [Section 16(7)], secretary & passport (if foreigners)

d. Form 48A signed by directors before the Commissioner of Oath/Notary Public (if signed outside Malaysia) [Section 16(3A), Section 122, Section 123(4)]

e. Copy of name approval letter

f. Original Form 13A returned by the Registrar

4. First Company Secretary to sign Form 48F [Section 139(6)] (need not lodge with Registrar)

5. Obtain Form 9 from Registrar

6. Within 30 days of (5), lodge Form 44 with Registrar [Section 120(1)]

7. Within 1 month of (5), lodge the following:

a. Form 24 [Section 54(1)]

b. Form 49 [Section 141(6)(a)]

I took quite a long time to remember & had to refer to the book a few times. Conclusion, only one part of this went inside my head. I should drink milk powder which contains “Gangliosides”

*My head had started to ache now*

I can’t wait to go home. I’ve got about 3 more hours & 81 more pages to scan. I wish I can scan the book like the guy in the Kit Kat advertisement (it’s funny but efficient). I can imagine how mundane a cashier job is right now if there is no customer.

I guess I’d better signed off now or my 81 pages will always remain as 81 pages & the full “Incorporation of Private Company Limited by Shares” will never be in my head. Ciao for now, readers! Have a nice day ahead!

19 September 09: A Day To Be Remembered

2009-09-23T23:58:00.000+08:00

I finally gave up at 9 am after trying hard getting back to sleep after the ‘morning call’. My cousin, Michelle che che, my sister and I decided to go out on a search for our mommies and aunties at the market but to no avail. We ended up having breakfast ourselves at a nearby coffeeshop. My sister & I shared a plate of wantan mee (just wantans only) and goodness gracious, there were 15 “wantans” & we were stuffed by the time we gobbled everything down. And, we actually persuaded my cousin to help us with 1.

Having anticipated that no one will have time to ‘layan’ my stomach in the afternoon, I had to have a contingency plan in mind. I bought some ‘apam’ & my sister bought 2 sticks of ‘yao char kwai’ (direct translation = oil fried ghost). That was our lunch.

All the mommies & aunties were busy preparing food in the kitchen & as a “newbie” to our first traditional celebration since greatgrandma’s time, we ended up doing petty things. I peeled bean sprouts’ roots till I was so sleepy & gone cuckoo that I actually “talked” to the bean sprouts while doing that. I still remember that Michelle che che thinks that I’m really crazy. Then, I had to slice thinly 2 long strips of semi-lean pork. I tell you it’s not an easy job. I was actually worried that my hands will be the victim of the knife I was using. I was the “standing butcher” but ended up as the “sitting butcher”. My fingers were a little stiff too when I have finally finished.

But I was still smarter to have picked the pork. Michelle che che who had to pull the prawns’ feaces out (it looks like a long black & thin thread) was trying to persuade us to change task. The prawns were tiny and there were quite a lot to do. After cleaning it, she actually had to slice the prawns into half horizontally. I bet she must be “crying” while doing that.

Then, there were crabs. This was more tedious & more tempting to eat while doing that. I was actually squatting down, pounding chilies to make “belacan” like an “Ah Sou”. I hate it. The “belacan” splashed all over the floor as I pound, making the floor looks like a crime scene. The “penumbuk” (I don’t know what it is called in English) was heavy and I take turns to utilize both of my hands.

When I was done with that, I helped Michelle che che & my sister to ‘rape’ the crabs. I stole a little to eat *sshh..don’t tell anyone about this* The crabs were calling out to me. They said, “Eat me. I’m delicious.” I succumbed to their plea. It was not entirely my fault. The crabs needed help & I just did my part.

At last, it was ‘Hooray!’ for all 3 of us. We are going to take the birthday “boy”, Granduncle Billy to One Utama so the rest of my relatives can prepare to surprise him. We don’t have to do anymore work of peeling, peeling & peeling. I said, “Finally, we are done. Yes!!!”. We reached One Utama about 5.30 pm. After walking around the men’s department, Michelle che che still have not got him his birthday gift. I came up with an idea. I told Michelle che che, “Buy beer/wine”. Then she said, “Yes! Let’s go” But as we reached the wine parlor, Michelle che che asked Granduncle what wine does he like. But he said he don’t know either. Since we were not experts in wine, Michelle che che decided to call Juen kor kor. Out of the blue, a wine promoter came up to us & asked us what type of wine we like. Of course we asked Granduncle Billy. At last, Michelle che che finally got a gift for Granduncle Billy. I was happy as well. Then we headed to McDonald’s to buy ice creams. I felt so ‘pai seh’ that I bought the wrong ice cream for Granduncle Billy. Thank God the ice cream was not very sweet.

We then headed to see mooncakes & I bought a Shanghai Mooncake. It was small & cost RM 4.95 for Jusco Members, but I like that kind of mooncake. My sister offered to share the cost. I was so happy.

Then, my sister messaged Jonathan kor kor to ask if they have finished preparing & if we could come home now about 6.30 pm. He said we could. It’s time for surprise! I was anxious to see Granduncle Billy’s expression but sad to say, I didn’t manage to notice it.

Michelle che che then came & told me that Granduncle Billy was so happy that he had tears in his eyes if you notice clearly. He said, “I thought I was in the wrong house”. There were lots of foods on the tables in the compound. There was of course the ‘mee’ that my greatgrandma used to make for birthday celebrations as the main dish, ‘nasi kunyit’, ‘satay’, curry chicken, 4 different flavors of ‘dodol’, ‘rojak’, egg tarts, ‘yong tau fu’, fried rice, ducks, chicken, sea cucumber, Thai style curry chicken, and not missing – beer, of course.

I started off with the “birthday mee”, anxious to know what it taste like from the time my mom & aunties all revive their “good ol’ days” while preparing the foods in the kitchen the whole day. While helping them out, I ‘ventured’ into their childhood lives as well, what greatgrandma used to do & how greatgrandma & greatgrandpa was like. My greatgrandpa was one true gentleman. Anyway, I called the “birthday mee” “The Gan’s Secret Recipe” (my greatgrandpa was Gan) & I will try to learn how to make this dish & pass it down to the next generation.

I tried a little of each dish but I was again stuffed. I like the “Secret Recipe” although some said it was not as good as what greatgrandma did (all my granduncles & grandaunties were present so they must’ve have tried it). I don’t know as this is my first. ‘Nasi kunyit’ served with curry chicken is my all time favorite. Then, I had egg tarts & a durian ‘dodol’ as my dessert. In the end, it was time for the birthday song to be sung & the capturing of such moments. Alas, the moment that we have all been waiting for, our share of a piece of cake. Of course, Aunty Joanne has never failed to deliver her cakes of high quality and not be missed – cream puffs (this time it was mini). This was it, a day to be remembered & a day for strengthening our family relationship.

Goal Achieved!!!

2009-09-09T10:16:00.001+08:00

I've finally set up my new blog..successfully. Pretty happy with the content. It has more applications compared to my previous blogs. I've seen many other blogs which are more sophisticated & attractive but I will continue to try to make my blog look more attractive. Hwaiting!!!

Today, I'll be celebrating my aunt's birthday today at KLCC. But, that's tonight.. :S For now, I am at my mom's office..again. It's pretty tiring staying there the whole day. My movements & "activities" are restricted to only a certain place. But luckily, I have the 2nd idiotic box accompanying me. It's like my "life & soul" whenever I'm out of home sweet home. haha..

I would like to write more & upload some pictures, but it's time to focus on more important things now. However, I will put more into writing if time permits. Ciao for now! Have a nice day ahead!

7 September 09: Still Awaken

2009-09-09T09:56:00.000+08:00

It’s 12.18 am & I’m still staring at what I call the 2nd idiotic box (computer/laptop) writing this (I should be in bed now since I have to be awake by 6 am) but I just can’t keep my fingers away from the keyboard. That is why sometimes I am glad that I do not have internet access in my home. Haha. I just have to write down now what I wanted to write because I know I have SMS & the anxiety that is in me at the moment.. OK, I’m done with putting my piece of mind into writing, so I’m heading to my comfy bed to get my beauty sleep. Geutemorgan, readers! Sweet dreams!

6 September 09: “Rebirth”

2009-09-08T11:38:00.001+08:00

Since I didn’t really like the layout of my previous blog, I’ve decided to give my blog a ‘rebirth’ so it would look more attractive and sophisticated. I’ve been cracking my head a couple of days ago to think about the new URL I should use so I can replace the old one..and voila, I finally got a good name! I’m pretty happy and satisfied with it. I’ve also set my objective in the content creation of my blog.. Funny, I know.. But, it’s only meant for me to know. Anyway, I hope I am able to share a part of my life with whoever who reads this. Ciao for now. Have a great day!
