Counting down to POOL PARTY…
5 days…
I used to have 40 plus penpal when I was merely 12 years old. By then, I will be waiting for Mr. postman to come to my house everyday and if the usual sound of motorcycle past by my house without stopping, i will be very upset… upset till I will ask “why no letter for me?!!” At times, I remembered the postman will past my house and returned again after a while to deliver my letter. 
Make me dissapointed and happy again lor..
Internet was not in our dictionary at the time. So, it was a usual thing to queue up at post office, bought stamps and post the letter. But, I felt the slow mail service was much much better those day compare to now. In the recent incident, I sent a letter to my niece by using slow mail but, it never reached the destination (from Kelana Jaya to Cheras) after 2 months. So? Apa penjelasan?
As I grew older, completed my Form 5, my penpal list was getting lesser and lesser. Till I studied in college, my penpal list only left to 1. And, due to he kept changing address and contact number, and at the same time I kept changing address and contact number too, we eventually lost contact too.
He was my best penpal of all. We exchanged every details of our life. We eventually end up calling each other god-brother, god sister. haha… The note pad was fast finished as a one time letter will eventually reached 16 pages. Couldn’t figure out how we could write so many things. I still keep all the letter. And even still had the photo taken together once he came to Sitiawan for a visit. He was from Shah Alam by then. He moved to Melaka when he was 16 years old. After finished SPM (I guess so), he moved to study accountancy at UTM, Skudai. By then, his family shifted out from the Shah Alam house also. So, u see the difficulty?
I was kinda upset when we lost contact as I thought I had lost a friend forever. I was trying to locate him. And trying harder to locate him when I was about to get married cause I really want him to attend my wedding. But to no avail. sedih? After my wedding, occasionally I will type at google search engine trying my luck to see whether his name will appear on the screen. But, nope. It never pop out.
Then, came facebook and friendster. I thought maybe I could found him using the search function but.. FAILED. Thinking, why he aint using the “communication tools”.
Recently, I tried finding his name by using google search engine again. And.. and.. oh mind.. Is it God arrangement? Yes. I found his name using the google search. When I clicked to the link, itelyou, hit jackpot also not that easy. The link was connected to the company that I attached with now, as a winner list in the contest. You heard it.. MY COMPANY.. How many % this things will happened in someone life? And the IC number birthday was exactly the same as his birthday. So, high possibility it was him.
So, the next day, I requested the P-I-C of the contest to provide me with the handphone number of that particular person. Once I got it, immediately I send a message to “him”
The message goes this way “Hi there. Wanna ask something. Are u Kang Keng Hoe that I know? My penpal. I am Jenny Sia Ling Ling.” click send.. and was waiting with anticipation. After waiting for a while, I received a message. the reply was “Hi.Long time no see. i thought loss a penpal forever. Guess not loss. How r u? How u get my phone? Where r u? u got msn? mine is xxxxxxxx.com. cheers.”
…… smiling all the way. (after 8 years.. phew..)
We had a great chat using msn yesterday. Like so many things to update each other. And, through these year too, I realised he too trying to locate me using the same method. Slap forehead. haha..
Anyway, welcome back KANG KENG HOE.. Glad to have you as penpal..

When two become one..
It was Serene & James big day last Saturday.
As usual, we ji mui(s) gathered at Serene’s house while waited for the bridegroom to come with all his “heng tai”. And, what a well planned wedding. All the “heng tai” came wearing pink colour neck tie. Cute.. And as usual also, we played some games with those heng tai and ask ang pow before allowing the bridegroom to meet up with the bride. And as usual also, they had tea ceremony before headed to the church for church ceremony. Pardon me eh for using many as usual here.. But, it was memang as usual things in chinese wedding… haha.
A very touching moment as Serene’s came in the church leaded by Racheal while singing the song “Love Paradise”.. FYI, it was one of my wedding song also.. Reminising my wedding days..hahaha..
I like it best when they showed on the screen their specially make MTV with both Serene and James as the actor and actress and singer as well. A very creative way of showing how they met and how they spend time together to the day James proposed to Serene. The MTV song was created by Racheal while the lyrics was from the Serene. Creative huh?!!
The ceremony began with praise and worship and words from pastor. And wow!! nowadays it had became so modern.. One of the advice from the pastor was Husband not only should support wife mentally but also from the “WALLET”… haha..
The ceremony ends with lunch buffet.
They held their wedding dinner at Ah Yat Abalone. Too bad I was not able to enjoy the food as I was sick. 
FYI, I was there coughing the whole evening.. @@##$%@@ Even as I write this post, I had been coughing non stop..
Anyway, congratulation again to both of them!!

Couldnt sleep well the whole night. The cough drove me crazy. The fever was on and off till I had lost count of it. And the weird thing is I only got severe sore throat at night. Everything I ate seems to be tasteless. :(
I am not working today. Still on MC. My eye seems to be so swollen as like baby mice. (So difficult to open in the morning)
I need rest..
18 days to go for Pool Party..
My love letter. So touch!!
I will reveal what was written in the letter early next month. Now is not the right time. But, I was touched.. Thanks for the sender.

Forest Research Institute Malaysia or better known as FRIM is located at Kepong. It is one of Malaysia’s oldest tropical flora and fauna with good facilities for nature lovers and outdoor activities. Hubby Panda and me decided to pay a visit there since we got nothing to do during the weekend. Furthermore, I had heard a lot about this place and in fact had planned for this trip for quite some time.
And, hooray!! Finally I managed to see the WATERFALL that everyone had been talking about.. Err.. not everyone la.. I was just exaggerating. I guess a lot of people did not know this place. Blah!!
We started our journey at 5 pm on that day and called Mice Ling’s hubby for the direction. We reached the place around 45 minutes later and decided to drive in as the waterfall was located quite far from the entrance. The fees per entry was RM3 per person. Along the way, I could see a lot of people jogged and doing their exercising activities there. Me? Still imagining and fantasizing a beautiful, big waterfall that we were heading to.
But, I was kinda dissapointed when we reached the place. It was a small waterfall. Smaller than the one I went at Cameron Highland. And, I could only see 2 families there. Not including the monkeys families. Ok
Initially, we intend to go up the top of the waterfall but half way I was chased by the monkey, who was walking towards me when I walked up. Maybe the monkey was attracted to me.. muah hahahaha. So, we have to abandon our plan. Haiz.. too bad. What to do? I am freaking scared of Monkey.. But, I heard the best scenary was at the top of the waterfall. Maybe next time I shall come with monkey suit. Should I?
Small waterfall
I forgotten my tripod again.. So, this is the outcome.. Haiz..
Surounding the waterfall
We could picnic on the hut..
We stayed there for a while and of cause doing some photo shooting. Just walk around listening to the nature sound. Overall, the place was so so only for me. But, I do enjoy the fresh air and all the greenaries.
I can’t help but to blog recent purchase where I felt it was so damn cute..
Hush Puppies..
.
.
.
Underwear.. It was so cute, so irresistable.. and .. and.. they also had socks. But, kinda upset why they don’t come out with girls version.. ANGRY LO.
I never know I was so .. ehem.. talented in making Dumpling or better known as Bak Chang until I hands on to make it last Saturday. I had heard enough of stories of people making it and how the dumpling got “burst” mid way while cooking, and I was prepared to face the same thing also. But, proud to say, my dumpling all came out nicely without even one got burst.. Ha ha.. So proud of myself.. Pai Seh.. But, need to see who is my master also la.. Of course my mother..
Knowing that I am a very very very (x100) impatient person, she warned me beforehand that making dumpling needs a lot of patient. And it was true enough.. It really tested my patient but, the satisfaction level seeing my dumpling turned up in good shape was .. good. Real good.
My first ever Dumpling make by me ClumsyPanda..
In bundle before cook..
Tadah.. After cook..
Maybe I should consider selling Bak Chang if I am out of job one day.. :P

While teaching my primary school class, I asked a boy called David, “If you have four rabbits and I give you two more, how many will you have?”
“Seven, Miss,” he replied.
“No, David. You have four rabbits, I give you another two… how many do you have?”
“Seven, Miss,” he responded. “I already have Thumper at home.”

Help!! Old Town Kopitiam, Kelana Jaya is repeating the same song again and again and again. I had been sitting here for the past 1 hour and the only song they play is “GREATEST LOVE OF ALL” instrumental music. I am bored …
Yeah.. I know I was sick. I know I should had quarantine myself at home. But, it was a special event. Event that I was waiting for. Die die also have to be there. So, pardon me if I spread the sickness around when I was enjoying myself yesterday night. BLAH!!
As I had posted in my blog months ago that I was learning something new and is learning hard, but, due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to stop learning. It was due to my beloved teacher- Mariche will be going back to Philiphine soon. That’s the reason we students had gathering yesterday night at Bojangles, Sri Hartamas for her farewell. CRY!! I HATE FAREWELL!!!
She is a very good teacher, guidance and is very patient with the students albeit she in only 22 years old. Never for once she lost her temper but, showed the avid interest in music. I am going to miss her.
I reached Bojanges (pub & cafe) and was caught by surprised as the main entrance was closed. But, as I walked nearer, it was written in the main door “Closed for Private Function”- wow..cool. Booked the whole pub for Mariche Farewell.. We had buffet dinner there and special performance by all the students.. And for the first time also I attended a function where all the guests could sing so well. I had to hide at one corner. Shy..
Everyone.. this is Mariche
Singing by the guys team
Girls..
Missing you.
I enjoy myself yesterday night. But, too bad I had to excuse myself early as I could felt my fever getting worst. I don’t want to be caught fainted at the happening event and the attention was on me rather on Mariche. Huahahaa..
So, what had I been learning? Music!!! And to be precised.. SINGING. Next.. I was considering DANCING.
Yes.. I am sick. Down with fever, cough, flu, body aching. AND THE WORST IS… I went to see doctor and was given full load of medication and of course MC for today. So, once I reached home, I took out all the medication from the transparent plastic bag without realising that I had mixed up my medicine with hubby panda medicine-PANADOL. (Hubby Panda was sick a week earlier) So, I started swallowing all those bitter medicine.. without realising I had taken my own 2 PANADOL and Hubby Panda 2 PANADOL, total 4 PANADOL at a go. No wonder I had a “good” sleep after taken all those medication. WISH ME WELL..
