I've Got The BUG!

It all began when my husband was sick 8 days ago...

2 days after he recovered (that means 6 days ago), I started having sore throat...
Then 3 days ago, I started to cough my lungs out...
Today... the flu decided to join in the fun...
I just hate it when I'm under the weather. I would feel tired all the time because most of my energy will be used for coughing. Now that everyone's talking about the 2nd wave of H1N1, I even had to wear a mask when I'm in the office.
I had to because I need to consider the 3 hyper-sensitive pregnant ladies in the office.

And in the midst of my sickness, I was informed that a bunch of immature people has been crtiticizing my blog, just for the fun of it. Sad to say that some are already a fathers and mothers... but yet... *sigh*
Oh well, it actually cheered me up a bit. I hope they visit my blog more often. I won't even mind their critcism coz their visits would only means one thing...my blog traffic increase!
So.... I would like to thank ALL of you (be it for good or for bad) for reading my blog.
Have to get my rest now. Signing off and wishing all of you...

My New Addiction - Fieldrunners

I finally found the time to update my blog. Going back to work has been tiring. I'm still adjusting myself to waking up early in the morning, driving through the massive traffic jam, office bound the whole day and coming home tired.

Everyday after work, I only manage to maintain my usual FB applications (Cafe World, Farm Ville, Ponzi and Hotel City), read my current bedtime book (Percy Jackson and The Sea of Monsters) and then enter Slumber land.

Finally weekend came and I thought I could get more sleep and laze around the house. Well, no. I went and got myself hooked to my PSP. Never before was I so hooked to a game.

My current addiction - FIELDRUNNERS.


The objective of this game is to defend and control the field using a diverse selection of upgradeable towers in a limitless adventure, using a wide array of tactics and strategies against countless waves of unique land and air combatants.

I started playing this game on Saturday morning and I was hooked BIG TIME! Once I started, I just can't stop. It's not like it's a new game or anything like that. I've had this game in my PSP since I got it last November and I've never even bothered to check it out till yesterday.

I ended up having my PSP with me wherever I go throughout the whole day. On my way out for lunch with my hubby, I played. After finishing my lunch, I played while my hubby finishes his. I played all the way from our lunch spot to my usual hairdresser in Kelana Jaya. I tried playing while getting my hair washed and cut. I played throughout the journey from Kelana Jaya to Sri Rampai to get my car tires changed. I played while waiting for my car tires to be changed. I played throughout my journey home. I played while resting and having dinner at home (my hubby cooked coz I was too busy playing with my PSP).


I played on my way to the cinema in IOI Mall, while walking up to the cinema, while waiting for my hubby to buy drinks and while waiting for my brother and his girlfriend to arrive. I even played while walking in to the cinema and while waiting for the Cinema Ads to be turned on! On my way home I continued playing and still playing when my hubby's already fast asleep. I finally stopped at 4am!! MADNESS!!!

And guess what? After all that... I'm still stuck in the first map trying to survive 100 rounds!


I tried everything but my highest achievement was to survive only 58 rounds. So frustrating!!

So just now, during tea session with my brother and friend, I asked them about it and then discovered that I've got my strategy all wrong! My brother had to take out his iPod Touch and show me. No wonder....DUH!

After posting this, I'm going to sleep. I'll make sure I conquer this map after coming home from work tomorrow.

Acting or Crew

I went to my friend's church (City Harvest Church, Sunway) last night to attend the Good Friday service and watch their Easter production. I wanted to bring my camera along to capture some moments but I thought it wouldn't be appropriate so I left my camera in the car. By the end of it I regretted for not bringing my camera along coz photography was allowed and I would have great photos to show here.

The church was packed with over a thousand people, worship service was GREAT, the production was AWESOME and the alter call response was AMAZING!! I've never felt like this in a LOOOOOONG time.

My friend posted a status update about the service on FB and another friend of mine asked him whether he was acting or part of the crew. I wanted to comment on this question on FB but what I had to say was too long so I decided to comment here.

My comment is this:

In a production, only an X amount of people could be the actors and actresses on stage. Even a huge London West End Broadway production can't be having thousands of performers on stage. So it's not a big deal if my friend was not one of the actors on stage.

I think that will automatically make the rest of the non-acting church members the CREW. That's because everybody will have a role to play to make an event a successful one. Some may have extra roles like being part of the Worship Crew, Security Crew, Usher Crew, F&B Crew, Videography & Photography Crew, Counselling Crew and etc. But most would be part of the Bringing Friends Crew.

I would categorize my friend and his uncle as part of the Bringing Friends Crew simply because they brought friends. I can assure you that the friends they brought last night didn't go home empty handed. They (including myself) went home with Christ very much alive in their hearts. Isn't that the MOST important and also the ONLY objective for it all?

To me, being a Christian is simply doing God's will and introducing Christ to others. It SHOULD NOT be about being in the spotlight. It SHOULD NOT be about being glamour and popular. Isn't it ALL for the glory of God? Since WHEN do we have to be on centrestage or part of the cool "crew" then we are considered to be "doing something" for God? I thought "doing something" for God could be as simple as bringing a friend to church?

If the friend we brought to church found Christ, that would be GREAT and a BIG AMEN to that. But if he/she doesn't, that does NOT make us a failure or a loser. The seed is planted and we just have to play our part by watering it with prayer. God didn't ask us to compete about how many friends we saved.

I hope I'm not offending anybody but if I'm missing a point here, can somebody enlighten me?

So, why ask - "What did you do?? Acting or crew?"?

April Fool?

I have 1 hour to go and it's still not too late to wish all of you, Happy April Fool's Day! I know most people may still be going around playing pranks on each other for a good laugh.

For me it is indeed a HAPPY day but it's not because I played a prank on someone or vice versa, it's because I had a GREAT first day in my new work place.

I woke up at 6.30am this morning and again I had to drag myself out of bed. That's because I was so used to waking up at 11am for the past 3 months. I tried sleeping early last night but it didn't do me any good coz I felt as if I never slept at all. My body was sleeping but my mind was very much awake. Maybe because I was over excited.

I left the house at 7.30am but still got caught in the jam from Puchong IOI Mall right up to the Kelana Jaya Giant. I manage to arrive at my new office in Kelana Square at 8.30am.

My new employer... Kotra Pharma (M) Sdn Bhd under the brand APPETON. My main role is to develop and build the nationwide promoter programme. My new tagline - HEALTH FOR LIFE.


My first day in the office started with warm greetings from my new reporting manager and colleagues followed by induction programme with various managers including the MD. I also received my fully subsidised season parking card within the same morning.

Lunch time came and my reporting manager bought me lunch at her favourite lunch spot downstairs. The chemistry was great as I was able to talk to her as if I've known her for years. After lunch, I was then given a laptop and continued with the induction programme. All my new colleagues are so friendly.

My first working day at Kotra Pharma (M) Sdn Bhd ended at 5.30pm and I'm looking forward to another great day tomorrow!
