30 Nov 2007 : Appreciation dinner in Yew's cafe

We finally gathered the team to have our appreciation dinner. Although some were not able to turn up, we had 29 persons enjoying the buffet dinner, joking, chatting, crazying.....

It was always great to have such a team working together.

29 Nov 2007 : Old old time..

Last week, PL came across a message in her friendster...

Ha.. to her surprise, it was from her ex-classmate in primary school. It was ages that they never contacted each other. She still remembered the identical twins. Although they were so much alike, we could differenciate them by their slight difference. We had good time crazying in the classroom with other classmates...and happy hours during the break.

Another surprise, he was now a tauke for a factory in China with offices located in most of the Southest Asia countries....And his twin brother opened an academy school.

有眼不识泰山，还说他傻傻的。

我们的傻样！

27 Nov 2007 : PC fair in Penang !!

25 Nov 2007 : Mom in KL

Mom went down to KL with Yeow after Hong's 49 days. It was very difficult to persuade her to travel. We have tried till giving up. However, CL was successful by only a few words.

24 Nov 2007
We stopped by at tgk for an early lunch prior departing for KL. It was about 2 pm when we saw our mom's happy face greeting her grandson. To our surprise, little CY recognised his grandma and called our "Ah Maa...!" It added the shine of the grandma's radiated face.
When yeow went for his German class, we paid a visit to han's place. Yin recommended us to have the pasembur by a roadside hawker.
The dinner was at Green Meadow at SS2. PL liked the food but not CC & mom. After filling up our stomach, we headed for Ikano Power Station. We did not have much time to shop around but just in time to grab 4 pieces chair pads to make up the only 2 at home for our dining chairs and a wall clock. Since little CY was dozing off, we made our move at 10pm. We dozed into deep sleep at 11pm after taking a bath.

25 Nov 2007
The morning started as early as 7am. Little CY was awoke at 6am, with a reluctant PL still hiding inside the blanket. So, the grandma took over to look after him for 30 minutes till PL dragged her feet to the bath room.
We went to the nearby market. The breakfast was average, just to make ourselves not hungry. Well, mom kept on complaining and comparing the food with Penang. How could it be compared with the food paradise, especially on hawker food ?
Mom bought some vegetable and a kampung chicken for lunch. She was busy cooking curry chicken, cabbage with fish , and also herbal soup.
After lunch, we headed back to tgk. We did not forget to have a short celebration for chen's & xiao ru's birthday.

Even the trip was short and tiring, it was pleasant.

25 Nov 2007 : Double happiness

It was xiao ru's birthday & followed by chen's tomorrow.

It was a baked cheese cake in orange flavour. Yummy..!

23 Nov 2007 : Farewell in Todak

Another workmate was leaving.

We had a great time in Todak, especially the video session whereby everyone got the chance to give a "speech". Had a great team but life moved on.....

19 Nov 2007 : Monday

It was nice to come back earlier. PL took a quick shower and prepared the dinner in the kitchen. It was a simple dinner - rice + cabbage soup + fried mushroom with onions in chili sauce.

However, someone just spoilt the cosy home sweet home.. grrr...

16 Nov 2007 : Steamboat feast

PL was thinking of a small gathering with the girls and Mike. She finally suggested to them on a mini steamboat feast. PL cooked the soup - one was the normal flavour with only ikan bilis, dried scallop and cabbage and another was tom yam. PL seldom cooked nowadays, luckily the tom yam soup turned out not bad.

We were wondering why they left so early, thinking they had some plans. This evening, PL found out that they did not want to disturb little CY's sleeptime. The result of making assumptions without clarification ! PL was thinking to have the feast at home so that we could chat more.

14 Nov 2007 : Small feast..

We used to have food at the small round coffee table in the large cubicle. This morning, we were caught in surprise on a box of goodies, contributed by an Indian's colleague for the first time. The table has been piled up with Raya kuih and biscuit for last few weeks. We had something different today.

Mike, our US counterpart also brought us 2 boxes of Hershey's milk chocolate and 2 big pack of M & M to satisfy our sweet tooth. PL liked the badge holder the most since she was looking for it for quite sometime. However, she could not find any shops or book stores selling it.The staff meeting was kind of pleasant today. And, PL finally finished compiling the cost improvement file and guided the team to list down the spending. She actually ignored the email because we all thought the boss would be coming back on this Monday. It ended up PL still needed to coordinate for the compilation. Anyhow, it was accomplished with satisfation.
