Dreams......Part 2

The horrible dream - "CANCER" really bothered me. I can't help myself but surf the net on the dream defination. I come acress the page named "Dream Moods" at http://www.dreammoods.com/. Although it does not really satisfy my query on my dream but it's really a great and fun site to know what are the common dreams that ppl had. It also tells us the meanings behind every dream....common meaning....as it mentions that every1's dream is unique.

I HAD CANCER!!!!

I HAD CANCER!!!

In the dream this morning, I was in a some kind of dinner cum special function. The attendance was great. Suddenly, soon after the dinner started, some1 called out my name.

"Dear, you've forgotten ur name tag."

I felt confuse. Name tag? I answered, "Name tag? I don't see many are wearing name tag. Why do i need one?"

The reply was : " Oh, it's specially for you. It's specially for cancer patient. Don't worry. Your's just at the beginning stage."

I was shocked.........stunned............blank........... "What are you talking about? What CANCER? Are you crazy? NOOOOOOOOOO...................... It's impossible!!!"

I was shouting......screaming..... and crying there........... it's truly hard for me to accept that? Why should they deliver such bad news to me in such a way???? I am healthy all this while!!!! Why should they giv name tag for ppl that have such dead sickness?????

My whole body felt cold!!! I was shivering!!! Some1 shake me....."Dear, are you ok?" It was my husband. He was awaken by my sobbing noise....I was actually crying....

I told him about it. He told me that it won't be true ...it's just a dream.

I'm thinking now........do I really have cancer of which that I don't know about it myself? I don't know how to describe this hard feeling in words.... My mind now keep thinking of the word CANCER. My mind just like the sunset images below :



The word cancer keeps coming back like the waves..........on & on... non-stop!!! Hope that it wont come true.

RM300 Petrol - Free

The price hike of the petrol in Malaysia in early June 2008. It was and still a big impact on every1 in M'sia. Our daily lifestyles change accordingly.....this especially to the lower-end to medium class of the society. Even my husband and I will either reduce our frequency of eating out on weekends.... or we choose cheaper restaurants just to fill up our empty tummy.

However, lady luck smiles on me (hope i'm using the rite phrase :p)

Does any1 out there still remember this advertisement ? It's from the Shell Malaysia!!! Still remember the contest form that were given to you when you pump your petrol more than RM30.00??? The contest was held for almost 3 months .... there're 11 weeks of winners!!!

Guess what??? As usual, I always keep all the forms in my handbag till my husband complained about the forms would soon become draft papers. Then that early morning before we went to work, I sent all the 10 pcs of forms to the petrol station outside our home (8 pcs with my husband name, and the balance of 2 pcs with my name on them).

After about two weeks, there's a lady called me in the noon.

The lady : May I speak to Ms Wong Kah Yun?

Me : Yes, speaking.

The lady : I'm calling from Shell Malaysia. We are glad to inform that you have won a RM300 petrol card. May I have your address?

Me : (being shocked and brain block for a few seconds) oh yes.... my address is .........xxxx

The lady : Thank you, mdm. We'll send the card to you by courier and you'll receive it within two months.

Me : Oh... ok. Thanks.

Well..... I thought that it was a spam called. As few months back then, there was such called from somebody as well. I told my husband about the surprise fake call. Then my husband asked, "Did she ask for your bank account number? Did she request you to bank-in any amount to her?" My answer : "NO" for both questions. "Then, that may be true oh!!!!. Better go to petrol station to check."....my husband said.

DISAPPOINTED!!! We went to check and my name was not in the list. So, we assume that the call was fake. However, few days later....there's a long list on The Star newspaper announcing..... "Week 8 Winners ......" from Shell Malaysia. Immediately I zoomed to the name list that start with "W". HOORAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! My name was there!!! Yes!!! I won RM 300 petrol card!!!!! They also have a list on their webpage....here's the link to it :

http://www.shell.com/home/Framework?siteId=my-en&FC2=/my-en/html/iwgen/zzz_lhn.html&FC3=/my-en/tailored/shell_for_motorists/fuels/fuel_economy_pkg/offers/fuels_1mil_km_contest_winners_wk8.html

You'll see my name there!!!! hahahha................

I seldom won a prize in lucky draw and this time I am indeed very lucky as the contest was for country-wide!!!! and I'm 1 of the winners!!!!

So, Thanks to Shell Malaysia for helping us. At least we spent RM300 lesser with the petrol card from them!!!

The Enjoyment of Shopping....without paying $$$

Early this year.... during the company's annual dinner ....my husband won the 3rd price in the lucky draw - a 21" tv that worth RM530. It was truly a good beginning of good luck in the year of "Rat". The voucher was valid till 31 Dec 2008. We did not redeem it till after 6 months.

Sound weird huh...?? Well, it was because of the negotiation between my husband and my mother in-law for getting a new tv. Both my husband and I like the Sharp Aquos so much..... but the queen is so loyal to SONY and not willing to change the old tv (which once a while the colour of the screen will change)!!!! So, after much discussion, my husband and I decided to change our plan....to redeem other eletrical goods except tv.

We went to the shop and started choosing the things that we would like to have other than a SHARP AQUOS tv!!!!!! At 1st i felt quite unhappy about it, but then wat to do???? It's better to get something that we love. So, we went round the shop for 2 rounds!!!! Searching and calculating the total amount of the eletrical appliances that we like.

It was a thrilling feel and extraordinary feeling when I was selecting the things that I like. That moment........... I started to understand the feeling of those extreme rich ppl (those always shown in TVB dramas) that shop without worrying the $$$$ signs!!!!

SO, after about an hour in the shop, we have selected four items :
1. 1 unit Philips hair straightener (that hav a nice pouch for easy travelling)(which i've been hoping to have one since last year)
2. 1 unit slow cooker (used it once to cook porridge)
3. 1 unit toaster (used it few times already)
4. 1 unit juicer (still nicely pack in the box.... not yet use!!)
with a top up of RM30 on top of the RM530 voucher.

This kind of feeling will always be in my mind as i guess there wont be much chances for me to shop like that without worrying of how much i need to pay when i stand in front of the counter.


p/s Jennie Tam, I understand your feeling when you won the RM1,000 free shopping at Giant!!! that was truly a great feeling!!!!

LATEST DECISION............

I'm resigning................. gonna spend my final week with the firm. next week gonna start a new chapter in my career. changing from the audit world to the commercial world......totally a different environment........... i believe i can cope with them.

Stay or Leave? Yes or No? Accept or Reject? Agree or Disagree?

Life over 1/4 of century........ the first decision that I made was >28yrs ago...that's the day I was born on 31 Mar. => Never Regret. Since the 1st day joining this wonderful & mysterious world.... there's always never ending decisions I had made and I have to make. I guess ppl out there hav the same feeling.
There are so many stages in our life.... no doubt that there'll be certain decisions that will affect your next stage of life.
My 2nd major decision was choosing to study accountancy for my degree which truly gave me a chance to explore the world outside my small family, my hometown - The Nature City, my country and new cultures. During the four yrs away from my family, there's numerous decisions I had made...there's right & wrong decisions. Anyway...NO REGRETS as everything that happened were part of my life history.
At the age of 24, I entered to working world back at hometown.... time when I earn my first RM1,XXX.00 by working minimum of 5 days a week. Feeling unhappy as I was being forced to come bck instead of working at KL where the basic salary is double of the salary I got. That was one of the tough decisions that I made as had to face the challenge of long distance relationship with my ex-bf in order to be near with my family.
There comes the toughest decisions I have ever made was to decide to got married with my husband. There's truly ups and DOWNS during my courtship with him.... long distance relationship, faith, TRUST, betrayal, romantic moments........ Every1 around me thought that I was crazy...... but I decided to giv him and myself another chance to prove that we really love each other. There's always a chinese saving - "women scared of choosing the wrong husband, men scared of choosing the wrong career". Here, I would like to take the chance to thank my parents, relatives and friends that support my decision and their best blessings to me :D
Now, after working for almost 4 yrs........ suddenly 1 day I asked myself, "is it time for me to move another step further?" Getting a good and reasonable job offer triggers me more to think of this issue.... YES!!! Submitting my resignation letter to the firm is truly a difficult and tough decision for me. Yet, my superiors advised me to reconsider my decision....... ouch........this is truly making me headache these few weeks........ Should I go or Should I stay? .......... My main reason of leaving the firm is not because of $$. They're the job satisfaction.... appreciation.... recognition..... environment...... that make me think re-think.... To Stay or To Resign?.....

LABOUR Day - 1st May 2008

What is the definition for LABOUR?
- When I was young, Labour means coolie - ppl that work by the road side under the hot sun.
- When I enter to working life - those have the salary of below RM2,500 are protected under Labour Act (if i'm not wrong)
=> So, Labour Day suppose to be a day off for that category of ppl only. However, every1 that are working....without taking into account of their salary range.

SO, for the past 3 yrs.... I do not work on 1st May and enjoyed the day relaxing.

However, today....yes, it's TODAY..... i realise that there is hidden meaning in the LABOUR DAY. What's that? That is..... it's a day for LABOUR TO WORK!!!! So, whoever that are not working today....are not labour. So, today has proved that I'm a 90% LABOUR!!!! As I started working at 10 am till 4.30 pm (usual working hours 8am - 5pm).

Sometimes..... I really don't know why we human need to work SO HARD!!!!! Can some1 out there tell me why..... (pls don't tell me because we need to feed ourselves)

No SMOOTHies day !!!!!!!!!!

25 Apr 2008, Friday - Do I enjoy drinking smoothies? Yeah... of coz. As I olwez wish that my life will be as smooth as smoothies. But today.......... TOTALLY NOT A SMOOTHies day!!!


As usual, today I have to go to work. In the Early morning (6.30 AM).... my husband got a call from the Queen to send her keys to her grocery stall. We just woke up....what to expect? Of coz will be a bit slow motion. 15 minutes later.... another call asking us to rush to her stall faster. Ok....fine..... ..... oh yeah.... b4 i forget, 2 minutes before we left home, there's no power supply at our home.... that's the 1st sign of bad day....

When we reached market, I went down to look for her. Without noticing ppl around me, suddenly she's standing in front of me. Complaining why we were so slow...........bla bla bla..... Well.....it's truly a 'pantang' (BIG NO NO) for ppl growling & complaining & mumbling early in the morning to me!!!! that's the 1st not so tasty Smoothies.

got back to the car.... my husband told me to cool down. then, start work. at around 10.30am....... blackout again!!!!!!!!!! gosh......... that's the 2nd bad smoothies. It's truly hot and the power supply got ok again at 12nn.... which means no early lunch.

12.30nn.... lunch time. My husband and I went for lunch at the nearest restaurant .... Nam Choon. Today is an important day for me. Why? Last nite my superior told me to follow him to a client's BOD meeting today after lunch time. So, felt truly excited during lunch time as I'm truly eager to attend one. However, after lunch..... about 2pm, my boss still had not call me to get ready to client's office. about 20 minutes later, he appearred in front of me saying........"I'M BCK FROM CLIENT'S OFFICE. " I was shocked!!!!!!!!! ..........and very disappointed and sad. :( :(
"Client called me at around 1pm ++, so, i rushed there. Here's the amendment we need to do in the accts. Pls help me check." he added. I was still in shock and disappointment.... my only reaction to him was "Ok". IT'S MY 3RD back luck sign... THE MOST BITTER SMOOTHIES.

arrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhh..................... This really drag down my concentration in the afternoon. Bad news lead to another bad news. I got a call from a colleague from KK office. She called to informed that the audit working papers for a client's stocktake cant be found. The assistant (who already resigned) told her that he had sent them out yet there's no such record by the admin staff. In addition to that, there's no copy of the awp in the correspondence file!!!!!!!!!!!!! gosh..............it's the stocktake working paper!!! Got to think of a way to solve this problem. ......4TH sign of NO SMOOTHies for today!!!!!

cool down..............

then, it's 5pm!!! time to go home!!!! my husband saw me look sad...... so, he decided to bring me to buy Latte at Equator Cafe. guess what? when we reached there....it's 5.50pm....that's exactly 5 minutes late.... they close from 5.45pm to 7.30pm!!!! arrrgggggghhhhhh................. 5th sign!!!!!!!

There's a chinese sayings : When your luck is bad, there's always a road leading to it!!!! I always do not believe it b4..... but today..........i truly understand what this means!!!!!!!!!!!

So, today......there's already 1/2 dozen of BAD SMOOTHIES for me!!!!!!!!!!!

At nite, my husband brought me to Equator again to enjoy our drinks there. Luckily, it's open and we manage to find seat despite of lots of customers at that time. Thanks darling.

HOPEFULLY TOMORROW WILL BE A BETTER DAY!!!!!!!

Cooking Experience

19 Apr 2008, Saturday - I'm staying with my mother in-law, and she's the big chef in the house. Therefore, I don't have to worry of what to cook for the family. Thanks, my queen. So, my husband sometimes will said that he never tried my cookings!!!! :( And challenge that I don't know how to cook. :( :

Today.... at last.....I have the chance to prove that he's wrong about the latter statement. Today is the first day I made dinner for my beloved husband and myself. What I cook? hah....good question. We went to buy the ingredients after we back from work at about 3pm.

1st station, buy prawns at Sim-Sim. We bought 4 big pcs of prawns....costed us RM18 (RM45 per kg).

2nd station, wet market at Bandar Kim Fung. Bought a bunch of vege which costed us only RM1...yes it's only RM1.00!!!!

3rd station, Tai Chung Supermarket. We bought a pack of fresh abalone mushrooms and a pack of japanese tohu.

It's truly a great feeling buying those things......

Once reach home, I rinsed the prawns and seasoned it with light soy sauce, and salt. Rinsed the vege...... mushrooms......

5.30pm..... cooking time!!!! Well....it's truly hot in the kitchen. Put the prawn with the japanese tohu to the steamer as steaming is the best way to keep the fresh taste of fresh prawns!!!

This followed by frying the abalone mushroom with garlic. mmm....it's been almost 3 yrs since i last cooked this dishes when i was at college.

Ever heard of frying vege with salted egg??? Well...this dish was suggested by my hubby. So, jsut giv it a try. Results???? Turn out not as what he expected it to be....as he's expecting it to be look like 'wat tan' (read it in cantonese).

It's almost 6pm!!!! Dinner time!!!! phew...........it's really hot cooking only that 3 simple dishes.

here's my husband comments on them :

1. Steamed Prawns with japanese tohu & egg : mmm.... a bit salty but the prawns really taste nice.

2. Fried mushroom with garlic : ok, this is good. but just too much of sauce. reason? it's because i put too much of water in frying this dish as i forgot that it'll produce it's on 'water' while cooking.

3. Fried vege with salted egg : mmm.. this seems like frying with egg and not salted egg. hahhaha

well....it's not easy to cook..... but i'm truly happy that we both really enjoy the session well.

what reward i got???? A BIG HUG AND A BIG KISS .....;)

FAQ - Are you pregnant?

This is my 5th month into my marriage life. Time flies..... busy with my quite heavy workload with minimum time for exercise. What more.... having late dinners and sitting in the office for more than 8 hrs..... all these lead to a big tummy since my big day in last year Nov. In addition to that, I now prefer to wear flats to work rather than high heels..... this add another point to the ppl around me.
The FAQ when friends & relatives meet me..... ARE YOU PREGNANT, MY DEAR? Even my mother in-law once in a while asking me the same question. and my Standard Answer is : No, my dear. Too busy for THAT. I'll inform you whenever the good news has arrived.
I know that every1 is caring for me.... but it's also giving me more pressure. Of coz I want to hav a baby too, but this cant be force rite?
Hope that I can have a baby in the near future. ;D
