Continuation for the month of July

The month of July was considered one of the most meaningful and busiest month for me... I still have a little to wrote about it. :)

On the 3rd week of July, I had my first ever 'actual' OT (Over-time) for my current job. I worked together with my colleagues until 1am, which was unbelievable...I know! And, this situation continue for more than a week. Do not forget, that was the week when friends started to visit me (in previous post) in Penang. I can't imagine I could went through this kind of 'non-stop' life, its tiring, but meaningful...I love it.

Picture taken without noticed!!!
But still have to thanks to my colleague for taking this natural picture.
I didn't know how I look like when I was working.
What do you think? (I felt myself very chubby)

Very luckily, I have a chance to join the celebration of the 5th Anniversary for my company. Although it was a simple celebration, but it's very happy when came to the event that can gather, eat and drink. And more happily, of course was Karaoke. We went to Karaoke right after the dinner. From 8pm to 3am, I have drank 3-5 glasses of red wine, and, the same glasses of Carlsberg's beer!!! But Bobo Siow, I still can stand and walk.....hahaha...very conscious...and my little brother kept complaining my body was full of 'scent' of alcohol !!!

(But very sadly, I couldn't have any alcoholic beverages from now on! This maybe the last time for me to drink so crazily!...I will mention more details about this on the next post!)

Happy Birthday to you H.S.A!!!
Wish you long life, stay healthier, and keep growing!!!

My colleagues

One final thing to mention, I had finally received my Bachelor's certification from Western Michigan University!!! I was so touched when I first holding the folder, before opening it!
Finally, after so many years of hard works, after sacrificing so many things, I had received this paper! How much it means to others I don't care; but it did means a lot to me!!! This certificate means not only the academics, but what I have experienced and learned in the US!!!

Western Michigan University was the place that I felt myself valuable! Thank you to everyone over there, especially the lecturers (I know you won't read this, but still I want to shout it to the world), thanks for appreciating my hard works, your words motivated me to walk through till the end!

Hello everyone~~~

I just realized that I had have more than a month didn't update my blog. I know some people kept enter my site with the hope to see a new entry. But they always leave with disappointment. I know! :) Let me apologize to you guys with my sincere heart!

What happened to me for this whole month?! Where have I been?!
one word can explain everything : BUSY

For the month of July, I have 3 groups of friends from different parts of the country came to visit me at Penang:

1. 15-17/07/08 : Yng Jiun (Petaling Jaya)
2. 18-20/07/08 : Siao Hui (Klang), Pei Yee (Bkt. Jalil), Choon Yee (Muar), Ji Wey (J. Bahru)
3. 25-27/07/08 : Bobo Siow, Gin Gin (K. Pilah), Li Wen (Taiwan), Jojo (K. Lumpur), Wei Ling & Justin(if I didn't forget..haha)( P. Jaya)

My job and responsibility as a local was to be their tour guide, introducing Penang's attractions and of course, FOODS. I have to make sure they gained at least 2 kgs when they leave here, and this means they have visited "The Paradise of Foods". Besides feeding them, myself also gained some weight, and I know, its not good to be Penang's tour guide....hahaha.....

wait....I haven't finish yet...



But if is my friend, gained even more weight will also worth it. Because I enjoyed the times we hang out together. Friends, you all are very very welcome to visit me in Penang, "what you get is more than what you give". Hahaha!

On the 27/07/08, my cousin invite me to her dad's (local) fruits farm. I had rejected her invite for twice, and I were to reject her again, because I was suppose to meet Bobo & Wei Ling them again on that day. But she said, that will be the last chance to visit the farm as the Durians' season was ending. I wanted to visit the farm so badly since very last time, with no choice, I have to sacrifice my time with my friends in Penang that day. (Sorry WeiLing & Bobo, sorry for not accompanying you guys for the last day of the trip, but I do hope you guys enjoyed the days in Penang.)

I and my uncle was the driver of the day. My car have 7 peoples and my uncle's car have 6 people, with the total of 13 people going to the farm. We drove about one and a half hour until we reached there. the farm is located at Baling.

The air over there was very refreshing as it was located on the hill. Guess what, I ate lots of durians on that afternoon (as my lunch), and all of them taste extremely perfect. It has been a long time since I last enjoyed durians on that way. Tell you guys frankly, I'm Durian's super supporter.

This durian is bigger than my head. I guess it taste really nice too.

Tips: Durian can only be eatan if it drop by itself from the tree.
so, if you trying to steal the durians from the farm, make sure you
do not pluck it from the tree, but pick the one on the floor.
And,
when you are walking in the durian's farm, make sure you don't
walk under the durian's trees. You should know what will happened
even though I don't mention here. :)

Rambutan's Tree....
It taste very good and fresh as I pluck and eat it straightaway.
I felt so natural when I was there, I pluck and eat,
then throw the skin and seeds just everywhere I like.
Do you think you can do it at your home???

Cempedak
My cousin told me that my mum must take picture with this
cempedak (when it was still little) everytime she visited here.
And now, it had already grow that big.

Alright, time to bed. Still have to work tomorrow.

To be continue..............
