Souvenirs From Hong Kong
J&S were having trip to Hong Kong the same time as I was in Ipoh. I was supposed to tag along cuz I always wanted to go to Hong Kong since secondary school... but my cousin sis' wedding was scheduled on the next day they departed.

While they were enjoying the delicacies in Hong Kong, I was enjoying the specialties in Ipoh. Their famous chicken bean sprout ("nga choy kai") and white coffee. Argh, I couldn't imagine if we can even live a second without FOOOOOOD since our life revolves around food and food and more food :/



S bought me a belt that goes well with my dress with legging. And I do need to pamper my face with masks, judging on the frequency of day and night outings for this week and my last week here in KL. Thanks girl!



J knows how much I LOVE food, so she bought me those specialties from Hong Kong, ranging from bakery to meat jerky to sausages.



What is Hong Kong without its "lou poh beng"? *slurp* According to J, she got them HOT n FRESH from a bakery shop, and that they can only be kept for a week. No preservatives. J's mom doesn't quite like it because of the tasteless filling. I think, S feels the same as well.

I, on the other hand, love it load because they taste exactly like the ones I bought from Dallas Chinatown, except much fresher. Pa n Ma like it as well. I can't remember how exactly the Malaysian version "lou poh beng" tastes like. Saltier? Stronger aroma? Hmm...

But, I love it love it love it! :)

I was fortunate to be able to get a taste of a piece (out of 6) of "lou poh beng" on one fine evening before I was away for another night outing. I was actually looking for one this morning, and the red box is completely missing from the table @.@
iLASIK Video Contest
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Incendia Health. All opinions are 100% mine.

Eye irritation due to sensitivity to smoke and wind. Knocking on the table bed leg while looking for glasses on the very next morning. Blindly guesstimating the distance of furniture and wall to get to the bathroom in the middle of the room. These are just a few examples of what I had been going through before I had LASIK vision surgery. Getting LASIK done is by far the best decision ever made. Never have I regretted since then.



If you are thinking of gaining independence in your vision, but at the same time are worrying about the financial matter, then this is your golden opportunity that you can't miss. Abbott Medical Optics Inc. (AMO) has recently launched iLASIK Video Contest for all the US residents to show the impact of improved vision. In return, you will be able to take home a Grand Prize of $5,000!

All you need to do is to submit a video at "You Gotta See This” Video Contest in one of the following categories:
  • “My contacts are getting in the way of my good time”
  • “My favorite sport or activity would be so much cooler with better vision”
  • “You should see life after the iLASIK® Procedure”
After submission of the video, send the link to your family and friends so that they are able to vote on it daily till December 10th. There will be no judges in determining the winner, so votes play an important key factors in selecting which videos win a prize. As simple as that!

So, what are you waiting for? Check out the website for a more detailed information on the contest at www.GottaSeeThisNow.com. There are already people who submit:
  • original music videos
  • videos on boxing and swimming
  • videos that just show how their daily lives would improve
One Grand Prize winner will take home $5,000, which is equivalent to the market value for iLASIK procedure. Three First Prize winners will win an HDTV package of a $2,500 value, and three Second Prize winners will win the Flip UltraHD camcorder of a $199.99 value.

This is the chance for you to gain freedom in life from astigmatism, short-sighted and/or long-sighted. Bid those goodbye (forever) and welcome the crystal-clear vision with an open heart.

Summer Girl

Summer who loves goofing around in swimming pool


It has been almost six months now since I last saw Summer in San Diego when I was there for a business conference trip. Even though she lives in Houston, I didn't get to meet her up once I was back to Dallas because of the sudden decision to move to Jacksonville over the summer. Anyway, I think I won't be seeing Summer in the longest time ever. Maybe forever, unless fate brings us together.

I happened to know that L (Summer's stepmom-to-be) has separated with Summer's dad over the weekend. With that said, Summer will be following her dad, if my guesstimation is right.

I feel sorry for Summer because her biological mom left her dad when Summer was just a baby. I bet Summer does not even know who her mom is at all because she has all the while been with her grandma since little. Sigh~ She is, no doubt, an innocent victim of failed marriage.



I hope Summer is adapting well to new environment and a new "mother." Am gonna miss her dearly...
Earn Your Master's Degree Online At USC
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of USC. All opinions are 100% mine.

Higher education has become more and more important for many of us in securing a job, plus it has also become a key factor in determining a person's career advancement. It is true that working experience is equally important as the education is, but with the paper qualification on hands, it works as a solid base to ease the overall process of job securing.

President Barack Obama is totally committed to having moms and women to return to school by releasing scholarships and grants to those who want to further their education. However, even with the given opportunity, not many are able to fulfill their lifelong goals because of the obstacles they have to face in juggling the time of full-time job, school, and kids.

To Plan Or Not To Plan?
"Old memories are coming down on you in a big way today -- though you'd rather they go harass someone else! It may just be one of those days when you have to relive the past rather than plan for the future."

That was my daily horoscope from Facebook for last week, if I remember. You see, I have the tendency to keep those drafts unpublished. So far, I have *counting* THIRTEEN drafts awaiting for me to get "recognized."



Anyway, back to the main topic, to plan or not to plan? I do not even know if planning ahead is the way to go for me. Any longer. Similar to YY, I prefer to go according to plan so that I am able to focus on what I need to get done, instead of wandering around with no specific goal in mind.

But, plans after plans, I am constantly failed all these years. The worst failure has to come from the recent one that I have been secretly planned. But, it is all too late now, even when at that time, it was only a couple days late.

For the past weeks, I have been thinking of what I need to get done to make my days in KL more productive. Many are envious of my "free" schedule as I am not bound to any responsibilities, but that is not the proper way of living the life. It is not meaningful at all.

So, after weeks and weeks of sleepless nights, God finally heard my "complaint" on the miseries I went through. The very next day, on Nov 24th morning, I was given a (firm) layout to follow through. Hence the rush and brief meetups with friends and cousins before I am flying off in 2 weeks.

Haih.. to plan or to plan? Seems like I am better off living my life days by days, just like how some people live their life paycheck by paycheck. I couldn't imagine what I am putting myself into *gulp*
