Hello & Hola...

Hello from San Francisco! :)

....And Hola from Mexico... :)

Slurrrp..enjoying my margerita..ahhhh..

Kong Hey Fatt Choy!!

After a daunting 24 hours travel time from Copenhagen to Penang with 5 transits in between, I made it back home without much hassles on Chinese New Year eve! The plane touched down in Penang at 10pm, and I was surprised that my luggage survived the long journey too and flew with me at the same time across a few different airlines!! It was great to be able to meet up with my dear family and friends. The best part is that I did not miss my reunion dinner as my parents decided to postphone the event to the first day of CNY instead so that my sis,bro-in-law and lil' nephew could join in the dinner too! We just had a great sumptous dinner at our neighbours' restaurant, today and the food tasted great!


What a great lunar year to start with in this roaring new year!

Here's wishing everyone a great Chinese New Year 2010!!

P/S: Sorry I know it is a lil' out but still I can't help but to post a picture of my dear nephew here...gosh..he never fails to put a smile on my face... :)

Hello from Denmark

Hello there!!!!! hehehe...

Yup,if you noticed, I am on a business trip again. This time, to the Scandinavian country, Denmark. And yes, it is snowing, and it is very very cold!! Brrrr... btw, in the picture above, I was jumping on top of a lake! The lake has frozen and now it is safe (at least I thought) for us to step on it..err but let's hope I don't crack the surface! :P

Anyway, I will be in Copenhagen and as since it is winter now, as expected, I was greeted with some heavy snow!.Boy it was very cold too!...

The frozen landscape of Copenhagen at New Haven

The funny thing is that, I was supposed to land at Copenhagen, but due to a snow storm on the day I arrived, my flight was redirected to a small town known as Billund instead. Billund is located at the west side of Denmark, about 3 hours drive away from Copenhagen. There is nothing much to do in Billund but the most significant attraction here is the fact that it actually the birthplace of Lego! You know, the lil' bricks that all kids love. And and guess what??

The airline company actually decided to put us a night at Legoland Hotel! Yay!! The best part is that I was actually given the family suite! It was really a cool hotel with all the different variety of creations made from Lego. My room had a pirate theme, and it is really amazing!

My room for the night!

Interesting lego decor

Alright, that's all fI have or now, it's time to sleep...Can't believe I have to wake up at 5am tomorrow! Gasp!!

Till then, will blog again when I have time!

Chiao!! :)

Happy Birthday 2010!

Yes, that's right...

Gosh, Time definitely flies...once again, a year older, but wiser..

Year 2010

My first post in the new year...
Guess how I celebrated my new year? :)
.

.
.
Well....actually...it is on this very couch I am sitting on, with my face staring on my dear lappie too...
Yep, my new year countdown was spent with me surfing the internet. And the best part is, I'm all alone! mmm..hmm..I'm home alone this weekend.

But,,I guess it is not all that bad and no, I am not complaining. I do long for some quiet moments like this sometimes. Also, it's a good time where I can reflect back on what I did for the past 365 days.

Time for me to work on my resolutions this year.

Have a happy new year! :)

Happy New Year 2010!

I really can't believe it!...It's a feeling of dejavu all over again. I did this last year, and now I am doing it again...sigh...I am talking about myself, once again rushing to post my very last entry for the month of December!

Basically, the year 2009 was a year that was filled with countless weddings, numerous trips/outings for me, a few baby blessings and also a couple of job hops..whoppss....

....2009

It's definitely a year that had me in mixed feeling. At one point, I was in anxiety over the economic gloom , but at some point, I was filled with happiness especially when most of my close friends tied the knot. I was priviledge to be able to do some travelling, and yes travelling is one of my passion. I was reminded at one point on not to take things for granted in a freak accident on my way to KL.I am thankful I am still alive and I shall be always thankful on anything and everything. Also I was exposed to a "new life" when I switched job. New colleagues, new environment, new role. Scary at times, but I knew it was something I had to do. I started to cook and I am learning many new recipes along the way, and I am indeed proud of my new skills! :) . I have achieved some of my financial goals but I still need to worked on it more, hence I need to set my resolution for this year! I vowed to go for Starwalk 2009 and yes I did it! Wow...so much so for 1 year down memory lane...for the rest of the time, I was probably sleeping! hehe...

Flashing back, there are just so many things that had happened within 365 days.

Incredible India - Outdated post

This is a very outdated post of my trip to India in the month of November 2009! I meant to blog about this ages ago but looks like procrastination is to be blamed! Whoopss..Sorry bloggie!

Anyway, I discovered the wonders of "Collage" tool in Picasa, love it love it, as I could just collage all my pictures and load them here quickly!

I think I will let the pictures do the talking... (please bear with the tiny pictures though)

Yes, my stay in a 5-star hotel at Gurgaon, Delhi. This is by far the most expensive hotel I've ever stayed at! You will be treated like a King/Queen here, and wherever you walked by, the friendly staffs will not fail to greet you with their signature pose (two palms held together) and greeting you "Namaste".

Here's a selection of breakfast buffet that I had every morning. A fusion of east meet west.

Lastly, with just a week here, I managed to squeeze in some time to do some sightseeing too! A place that I always wanted to visit, a World Heritage Site conferred by Unesco, the Taj Mahal was part of the itinery. Travelling to Agra took us 3 hours by a charted car. The tomb looked impressive I must say. I just hope that the pollution around will not turn the white marble tomb into black instead! :P

That ends my 1 week business trip to Gurgaon, New Delhi.

An interesting city, contrasting yet colorful.
