2012’s New Year Resolution

OK this is the time of the year I will be jotting down my resolutions for next year. Looking at my existing resolutions there’s at least a few of the resolutions accomplished. Good enough to do a little celebration for myself.

Let’s look at last year’s resolutions…

MY 2011'S RESOLUTION!

1) Get a MAC Book... Need to start brushing up my illustrator and photoshop skills. (Not accomplished but currently using a notebook with photoshop)

2) Get a Brand New Car. (Accomplished!)

3) Enroll to a Tailoring Class.. who knows you'll be hearing designer brand in 5 years! LOL (This is going to be scrapped OFF as my travelling and working schedule doesn't seem to make this resolution realistic)

4) To reach and maintain below 55Kgs (YES & NO… trying to maintain)

5) To pay all my bills on time... (I've always procastinate!) (YES & NO… trying to maintain)

Anyway, here's what I posted last year... http://aliciaks.blogspot.com/2010/11/december-is-coming.html

SO AS FOR 2012, it will be more relaxed like...

1) Continue to maintain below 55Kg.

2) To continue to pay my bills ON TIME.

3) To cope up with sufficient and consistent savings every month. I am bad in controling my expenditure... It's hard to be a smart shopper when you try to own everything at 1 time. hehehe

4) Over the weekends or free time, always do something that cheer myself up such as a pampering good massage, hairdo,  facial, weekend cookings/bakings, road trip, beaching, planting the greens etc.

I guess, as year passed by my resolutions are getting lesser and lesser. Hmm.. it's not a bad or good thing. Just reminding myself I am pretty satisfied with many things in life.

Xmas Lighting 2011

Hmm... although I'm not Christian, I have been attending Xmas Lighting Ceremony almost every year throughout my working life in hotel industry. I remembered last year was one of the best one with good crowd and an inpromtu opening remarks by YOU KNOW WHO... Overall, it was great! But having to leave the hotel less than 1 month after that to join my current workplace is a little sad coz I still misses the joy of working in a hotel. (Can't blame me, I was working in hotel industries for 7 years...)

My Last Year's Christmas Lighting Ceremony Post

This year, I was a little bit dissapointed maybe not because of the ceremony itself but the people that used to work together with me were all either left the company or not participating in this year's event on 2 December 2011. But anyway, the most important thing was to be able to try and catch up with some good old friends who are still there. :)

After the ceremony, had a chit chat laid back session with Jerry at Station One, Hills Shopping Mall. We wanted to go to Full House, a lifestyle cafe but it was Full House anyway so we switched to Station One. It was a good evening despite I was down with FLU and Cough... over the weekend..

Stephen's Birthday Dinner @ Blablabla

Had a dinner with Stephen in Blablabla on 1^st December 2011 to celebrate his birthday since I've promised him a month ago. As usual, this is my favourite place to bring people for special occasion because of the nice ambience of the place and not too crowded. 

We only ordered the lambchop with black pepper, Midin Salad and a piece of Strawberry Cheese Cake since I am on DIET as usual.

.:Stephen with Lamb Chop with Black Pepper Sauce RM38:.

The lambchop with blackpepper sauce is more to the sweet side. I guess since it's a chinese fushion cuisine, it will not be what's expected from the normal lambchop with black pepper sauce but I like it cause the taste is just right for my taste buds although I only ate a few little pieces. T_T

.:As if it's my birthday ho.. hehehe RM12:.

I didn't take the photo of the Midin Salad which was RM13 or RM16 if not mistaken because I was too hungry and since the Midin Salad has always been my favourite, I forgotten totally about the photo. It's a mildly boiled midin marinated with olive oil, red onion, lime, pinch of salt, chilli etc.  A little bit like how people marinate raw fish called 'Umai'.

Overall with drinks & papaya + peanut appertizer, the damage done was RM87 which was already expected anyway. For the nice ambience and good food, a little over price is acceptable especially for special occasions.

November is a blissful month

Singapore Trip

I've travelled to Singapore with dad, Ongako, Ah Ing & Siaw Ying to attend Cheng's Ragistration of Marriage.. yes it's REGISTRATION OF MARRIAGE... another one in the family tied the knot. Now it's already 4 out of 7 and only left me, Siaw Ying & Ah Ing.. ahahahahahhaa (Laughing like spongebob)... the married ones don't be too happy coz it also means GAME OVER.. ahahahahhaa (Laughing like spongebob again).

Anyway, it was a good trip overall as we stayed at Chinatown area in Singapore and i managed to do some shopping for the decoration in my apartment. Oh well, the star is my brother and new sister in law, Mrs Ng 'Jaslyn'.

So happened that Elephant Parade was going on in Singapore at the time we were there and I love elephants... Lucky! The Elephant Parade is the world’s largest open air art exhibition of decorated elephant statues that seeks to attract public awareness and support for Asian elephant conservation. For more info, log on to: - http://elephantparade.com/ basically it's to aid for the elephant hospital that saves the poor elephants.

Manukan, Sabah

The week after, I also went to Manukan in Sabah with some collegues & ex-colleagues. It was a day trip as it's just a small island where people can picnic and spend some quality time together. I didn't know that snorkeling can be so much fun. I came back nicely tanned with nice complexion.


The day started at Jesselton Port which is just next to Parkson Suria, KK.  The price for a return speedboat per person is RM24 or slightly more depending on the boatman.

Besides the trip to Manukan, we did a bit of shopping in KK and got ourselves some T-Shirts and Jen even did something nice to her hair.

Wedding in Kuching...

Apart from travelling, I didn't miss one of my best buddy's wedding. Although we seldom meet now & busy with our own career & life, the 2 years of college life together was never forgotten and the bond built was for eternity. 4 of us, Leong, Hsiang, Yen & I... Oh well, Leong is married with 1 daughter, Hsiang just got married & Yen is getting married in January... What the hell, i don't give in to peer pressure. Enjoying my single & workout life! Anyway, I'm so happy for all of them.

.:Mr & Mrs Hii:.

.:Leong, Wifey & daughter:.

Speaking of which, I've been working out hard lately after the eating spree in Bangkok which brought me REGRETNESS... I'm targeting and doing at least 30 minutes workout a day and cutting down on sugar, carbohydrate & oily food which basically cutting down on everything inclusive of skipping dinner replacing it with fiber supplement. hehehe
