this is a total switch from my previous engineering job. giving up my engineering background is not easy. but so far, i think i'm making the right move.. (I think!)

Home:
wife is getting "heavier" as baby grow bigger in her tummy. so meaning i have more work to do at home. taking care of some house work and also my son. he is now 14mths old and just learn how to walk. following him around at 1st was fun, but try doing that for the next few hours, you will need a break to rest ur back.. no joke tiring.. my life is going to be more and more busy when the arrival of my princess very soon.. hmm.. 4 weeks more? about there.. Gambateh!!

social:
this part is kind of not in my dictionary any more..
it's been like, work and home only lately.. manage to meet up some friends but not much not significant at all..
have to make time to improve this area.. if not i'll be alienated soon..

music:
been listening to many albums lately.. all the albums are great! bruno mars, 30 seconds to Mars, snow patrol, 3rd eyed blind, hillsongs united, etc. and Swithcfoot is just an Awesome Awesome band.. love the songs.. my sister is going to their concert in KL i think.. sigh~~ i also want to go.. but too bad la..

p/s: Lord, give me the strength to carry on with my life..

Father & Son

Father & Son is a very special relationship. after becoming a father only i get to see and experience more of a role as a father.

now that i am both son and a father. this make me even more "special".

when i was just a son.. there are many things that my father did that i will never understand until the day i become father. suddenly everything just make sense. a father will do anything to make sure that the son has the best. a father will try all kinds of thing to make sure the son is happy. while the father is trying and doing, the son might not feel that and not appreciate at all. but that will not mater until the father see the final result... which is the smile on his son's face.

Son! Daddy will always be there for you..

Son! take courage n walk.. daddy is always behind you watching..

This is also a reminder for me as God is our Father in Heaven and we are his children. He will always give us the best and His love for us is just so amazing. the Heavenly Father's love for us is the greatest love of all! Thank you Lord!






P/S: Christianity is not a religion! It's a relationship with God! Amen!

Slurpp.. Imagine this boiled in the spicy soup..

How can you go Steamboat without a lady?? Introducing my new girl friend.. the Blue Girl...

According to my Shanghai Trainer, this is a very famous restaurant from Bei Jing.. Called..

Mixed Vegetable Cold Dish

This is so yummylicious.. haha.. Pork + Salted Egg York

Some local beans with mushroom..

Cucumber Pickle

I dunno what they call this.. But i will name it.. Bird Nest!! haha.. The nest is made from rice noodle and the meat inside is from the famous Peik King Duck Meat!!

The Si Fu showing off some skills..
Slicing the yummy thin and crispy duck skin..

Famous Peik King Duck!!!

Dessert Anyone?? You can have this.. hehe.. We were all too full to have any of the above..

If i were to upload all the food pictures here.. then people might think that this is a cooking recipe blog la.. hehe.. but those are the highlight in Shanghai..

There is a saying that my collegue from China told me.. In China, it's all about EAT.



OH YA!!!

Not forgetting 1 more very important Dish.. The Legendary "Drunken Master Crab"

The cheft just rip the crab from it's shell alive, with it's brain hanging around, then he just pour a cup of warm hard liquor over it.

No cook.
No additional flavor.
No extra color.
No photoshop also..

The Taste is Great.. You will not get the fishy smell from the crab.. I'm very amazed by that. But the texture of the crab is....... ermm... i can say very "geli"

Shanghai Trip 1

As promised, i will upload some of my pictures from Shanghai. So sorry for keeping you guys waiting. have been really busy after got back from Shanghai. SO many things to do.

I hope the following pictures will give you some idea of my trip there..








I stayed in the hotel called Howard Johnson. It cost me about RMB840/night. by right for that kind of price, it should b a very nice hotel. but after i got into the room, seems like the room is very small compare to Sofitel in Bangkok. But the 1 thing i love about the hotel is the shower Head. like shower in the rain la.. hehe..

I stayed on the 8th floor. The view from my room is so so only la.. nothing much to see..




******************************************************************

now that i am back home, i begin to think that may b my out station life will begin to increase again with this new company. I am not sure yet. but i seriously hope that will not happen. Just before i got married, i traveled so much.. seriously i stayed in Hotel more than i stayed at home. the time I spend in the plane is more than my own car la.. for a bachelor that kind of life style is amazing. can go around many places and see many different thing, experience different culture and also meet new friends. the best part of that is all that it's paid for!! hahaha...

but after married, i felt that it's more difficult to fly so often and also i seems like more reluctant to move around. i also dunno why.. may b is the commitment and also differnt type of lifestyle after married. further more i am not sure how am i going to cope after the arrival of my baby.. we will see how that is going to change my life again la.. i have been getting a lot of advice from many people already. what i can say is..i will try my best and always give me best for my wife and son..

Short Trip to Keningau..

I have not been to Keningau before until Yesterday. I got a call from my boss asking me to go over to Keningau to help to fix a problem.

So on Monday morning i woke up early and ask my wife to drop me at Kuching International Airport at 8am. My flight was 9am. then arrived at Kota Kinabalu International Airport at around 1030am. Then i went to the taxi booth to take a cab to Keningau. which is about 2 hours away from KK. guess what? the fare to Keningau from KK cost me RM 200!!!

Yes! RM200!!!!!!! this more expensive than my air ticket la. This Keningau place is even further than for me to fly from Kuching to KK.

So ok la.. i got into the cab and start the journey la.. the road is something like the road going to Cameron Highland. very very challenging and the Happy RM200 Taxi Driver is very skilled and manage to bring me to Keningau Hospital at 1pm. total journey from Kuching to Keningau is 5hours!! Walauler...

So i went to the lab and look for the person in charge of the Lab. unfortunately everyone went out for lunch and the whole Lab is Empty. Kosong! not even a mosquito in there.. so i waited for my "customer" to return la.. finally then appear at 2pm. great!! finally can start to look and listen to what is the problem. When they saw me standing there with my luggage, u can tell as if they see "god" la.. since they see "god" in me, i just pretend to be "god" la.. hahaha... i guess that is a good sign right? they treat me like "god" of that equipment. Wow...

Guess what?? it took me 30min to fix the problem and the "customer" is even more so so happy. i am even more "god" now! hahaha.... but bare in mind i am only 3 weeks old with this new company. hahaha.. i guess i am lucky la.. able to fix heir problem and also give them a good impression.

the lab assistant offer to give me a lift to the nearest bus station to catch a bus back to KK. i am so happy la. i only know them for like 1 hour. then they treat me so nice. i am so touched la. when i reached the bus station, there is one bus there waiting to depart. i arrived and 345pm and the bus is leaving at 4pm. Amazing!! Praise The Lord!! hahaha.. can go back to KK right away! there is nothing much in Keningau also la. just a very small town like Sri Aman.

To my great surprise, the bus fare is only RM13 back to KK!!!!!!!!!!
I was like "WHAT?!?!?!" i can even pay the bus RM30 for a trip back!! as compare to my RM200 Taxi fare.. the journey back to KK is 2.5hours. I arrived KK around 630pm. my dad took me from the bus station.

Oh ya... there is one thing i forgot to say.. I only had Breakfast early in the morning with my wife. then i do not have time for lunch since i was in "god" mode.. haha.. by the time i arrived in KK i was like so so super hungry. and my dad brought me for the famous Kota Kinabalu Seafood Dinner!!!

yeah~~~~

There is no word to describe that feeling but... "oh Yeah~~~~"

What a wonderful experience..
