It's Christmas

"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way"

These are the lovely lyrics I like to listen during this merry season. I always look forward towards Christmas. Though quite a number of friends know my "main" activity during Christmas, just pretend you don't know okay? In conjunction with Christmas, let us just usher this celebration with a good heart. *wink wink*

One of the reasons I love Christmas is that I like the gathering my family will have. Though it may consist of small lunch gathering, it is the atmosphere I enjoy. Besides, everyone will be so happy awaiting their turn for presents including me. A small Christmas tree will be set up. This little tree has a very long history. It has been with us since I was very young and yet it still stand majestically adorned with sparkling decorations.

I am given the honour this year to decorate it too. (The truth is my sister did most of the decorating work and my role only includes opening up the tree and setting it up) Aiyar, it is the thought that counts marr as I always say. Hope that I will remember to take a picture of it during Christmas.

Talking about Christmas always relates us back to presents. I am in deep trouble actually. Yet, the problem occurs due to my own actions. So, no one to blame but my pity self. I still have my sister's present empty plus one for my upcoming friend gathering. Aiyor...what to buy also will constitute migraine you know. As for my brother, a clothes accessory is waiting for him.

In addition, I forgot to write my Christmas cards this year. Mampus la kali ini. I feel so bad because every year, I make it a routine to send cards to close friends. I think this time around the cards will arrive late or some will not get it at all. Sorry. Do I still have to send to friends who are overseas? Ermmm... though questions lar. One more thing before I return to my job of writing cards, Merry Christmas everyone.



Ps: If you have time, try to listen to some Christmas songs. I won't promise they will suit you, but I promise a smile on your face *wink*

Boring...........

The reason I am blogging is because I am waiting for the buffering to finish before I can watch my korean drama. The internet connection is very slow leh. I am so bored till I read my friends' friends blogs. Huhu.... Actually, their blogs are kind of refreshing and creative. With different writing styles and views, I am surely entertained. By no mean I am a stalker. Just to take some ideas how to write better.

My whole body feels very tired after 3 hours of playing badminton this afternoon. Apparently, I forgot to take my nap today but I am in the final part of the episode so cepat sikit lar internet. I want to sleep. An nyeong

Home-cooking lesson 1: "Ham Cha"

My cooking lesson starts today. My mum is nagging actually since I told her when I was in Sydney that I intended to learn when I come back Melaka. So, I choose to cook one of my favourite dishes which is Ham Cha. Let me brief you through the history of "Ham Cha". This is dish is originated from Teochew clan of the Chinese descendants. I learnt about this dish when my maternal grandma cooked this when I was young. I felt in love instantly. This dish is of many types of vegetables. My mum said you can put any vegetables that you like in it. Initially, I dislike vege but I love this dish. I always specially request my grandma to cook this dish. Hoho.... Also, it is best complimented with peanuts.

To sum it short, it is a rather simple dish. I cannot imagine such a delicious dish is so simple to make. Photos here include the 5 types of vegetables, the final process of the rice and my mum: Madam Chan.

Everyone officially knows I am back home

I think I must be pretty hardworking. With 3 days to go to make my full second weeks here in Malacca, I have worked two jobs. Hoho.... Lucky me to find jobs that quickly and unlucky me to be underpaid. Apa lar.... Maybe, I always encounter employers who underpay their employees.

The second job I worked is as a maxis broadband sales assistant. Omg, super hard to sell lor.. Not only am I underpaid, I have to be so thick skinned to persuade the customers to buy the product that I myself am not convinced to buy either. My boss has said that I am too kind-hearted. I am not forceful enough. I did not know being kind hearted is a bad thing in the first place. Now I finally do. Well, to sum it all, it is hard work,low pay but I love working there. I met a lot of people. Trust me, it is really A LOT.

I even met people who have lost contact with me ranging from 2 years to 7 years. I think almost all my Malaccan friends know I am back already. To mention the name only will fill this whole blog list. Hoho. I also know some good friends there. They are pretty fun. Yeah...I fulfilled my purpose of working: to enjoy my holidays. Talking and meeting lots of people while having fun. I think one of my holiday objectives is being met at least. Hehe... I already start missing the yesterday. Although it is tiring, I still feel happy. I am not really into money thingy actually but the thought of being underpaid does anger me towards certain extent. Money is never really a serious matter to me because I view money secondary compared to other things. I manage to sell 3 plans at least. Phew... what a relief. I don't want to work anymore for the holidays. Wanna rest now. Eyyy...come to think of it, there is a new jusco opening soon. Maybe they want to hire people. I might consider lor.... Hoho...
