Fireworks in HK

End of the month entry [and a public holiday today :-)], sharing some photos taken during Hong Kong Disney's fireworks, whilst on a trip with some friends in May 2013.

Wishing all Chinese friends and visitors here a happy new year, this year being year of the horse (according to their calender.)

Enjoy the following pictures and have a good break everyone..safe journey/trip.

Some good friends are off to Indonesia/Singapore/Brunei (that I know of) and another friend going to Saudi Arabia for umrah with her family (hope I could go again with my family soon..ameen).


For the time being, I'll stay quietly at my corner of the world during this long weekend and have a good rest (hope so!) but I heard that KL city centre is "traffic jam" free, should I drive into town?...hahaha...

:-)

Testing

As I seldom have the chance to really sit down and update here using my pc these days..I'm testing now to update using my (not so)smart phone.

Its hard...haha...

Resting by the pool, people watching (or rather short napping...hahaha..)

First walking exercise at this place this year after a long break. No jogging/running yet  :-)

Anyway, thats one new application that I'd downloaded to my phone - instaweather...and where i was during the weekend..hehe..

:-)

p/s - took me half an hour to finish the above...! Hehehe..

Trying to keep up :-)

hahaha...its already the 20th day in January 2014 and this is only my second post!

Ok, that's one resolution that I'm trying to keep. Another one is to cut down on my travelling..guess I overdid last year that it took toll on my health.

Also I don't want my mum and family worry about me being away too much (unless the travelling is to go back to my hometown...hehe..)

But somehow this month alone I was tempted with offers to join 3 trips to 3 different locations!

1 ~ Jakarta-Bandung-Solo-Jogja in Indonesia

2 - Universal Studio in Singapore

3 - Mumbai, India.

wow...how I wish...hahaha..

So to avoid the temptations, I booked a last minute ticket to my hometown for a break last week, and "cure" my itchy travel feet...hehehe...

Sharing some photos taken last week :

By the way, its "Visit Terengganu" this year.

We seldom go out to eat as mum is not really into going out for meals, but when she said she wanted to go for hi-tea at this place, we made the effort to fulfill it. 

This place @ Hotel Primula is the only hotel that she's comfortable with.

Some of the food that I managed to capture...my nephew took more   :-)

Ok that's the update on eating and food..hehe...

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

We planned to hire some bikes and ride at Taman Tamadun Islam park near our home but the day (Tuesday) that we went, the park was closed (its open to public from Wednesday to Monday only from 9am to 6pm).

So that day to went for a walk instead ~ to panoramic hill near the city centre. It was our first time there and we had a nice walk...we should go again.  

Another evening I played volleyball with my nieces....was quite surprised that they could play.

The next photos were taken whilst passing through the famous beach area in K.Terengganu, Pantai Batu Burok. 

But yesterday evening I was already back in K.L. The following view was taken on ERL (train express) from KLIA to KL Sentral.

mmmm...back at work today.

Have a productive week everyone!

:-)

A fresh start.

Into the second day of year 2014 and not only saying "bye" to days in 2013, but also to the old work place.

November and December had been a different busy months..apart from welcoming family members from home, entertaining a good friend and her son from Kuching that I had not seen for many years followed by many reunions with our other friends, I had been busy with packing as our office moved to a different location.

Bye to the old work place.

Phew...it was hard work going through recent documents and also ones that were more than 10 years, my body ache all over and its not completely done though we had moved by year end. Luckily the new office is nearby (more importantly still near my home...hehehe...).

A new one still not set up when this was taken on 31.12.13.....hope for a better environment. 

Have yet to finish unpacking, hope by next week could start work properly.

and wish I could go to a good spa for a bit of pampering. :-D.

Anyway, one of my aims for new year is to lose some (ehem..) weight, but so far I have failed...hahaha...,

Not all for me thou, bought these for a little celebration for a friend's birthday.

mmmmmm.....  :-D

Hope for a stronger will.....hehehe..

1.1.14 ~ New year and new school term started in some states and for my lovely nieces...wishing them a successful and great year.....,


..hope they'll enjoy their school days, especially to my youngest niece who is in standard 1 this year.

Hope everyone have had a great start.

mmmm....so many hopes...,

:-)
