Levain

I have been super busy these days and plus the ulcer just pops up making my mood drastically drops. I have the biggest ulcer ever in my life. It actually looks like a normal pimples. After having delivery pizza for my colleague farewell, I felt my ulcer feels wet and went to take a tissue to wipe it. To my horror, the liquid is yellowish and my colleague told me it might be puss from the normal pimples. After wiping off the yellowish liquid, my lips seems to be healing but I am still in pain when eating hot.

Textbook arrived at early February

Just started my 1st module and it is bored to hell. This subject suppose to be recommended first subject to take but chose to delay to be in the same subject with my colleague. I studied the harder subjects and now this seems to be so boring. It is all just theory and teach you how to be a moral accountant. However, I am not even doing anything moral during auditing. There is too much obvious accounting manipulation but boss and managers told us just to shut up because all the companies are doing that! So, tell me how to be an ethical auditor?

  During the 4 days holiday and people has been raving it, I went to the overrated Levain with my family

 It is a bungalow located near city center

 

 Since it is a public holiday, it is packed with people

 

Nobody at the patio because it is way too hot to sit outside at 12pm 

 Long queue

 Variety of bread

Do my dad look handsome? wtf

BREADSSSSSSSSS

 Tried the Mushroom soup which SO MANY of my friends raved about it

It was sooooo thick and cheesey to the max. My sister and I have to share it because it is way too thick for our liking. 

The bills came to the horror of RM100 for 4pax for spaghetti and pizza only! Last Thursday I watched a TV shows talking about fashion. It was talking about wallet and they said using red wallet prone to spend more money. To be honest, I am using red wallet and I am really spending more money and could not save money compare to the previous brown wallet. I have decided to buy a red wallet and went to KLCC to research on it and now I have to spend my time again to search other wallet. And walah, I decided to buy a much more expensive wallet. It would be the most expensive thing I would buy but I must convince myself, it is a reward for my CPA wtf.. You see! How to save money with red wallet?

 Conclusion, people who stay near my house don't have to go all the way to KL. The bread, I think RT has tastier bread and coffee, oh please, Starbucks serves way much better coffee. It is way too overrated just because they have a very classy and comfy environment. I don't have to drive all the way to KL, Ficelle is just a sister company of Levain and just located at Taman Desa. They serve the same quality of bread too!

Dong dong Qiang!

Yeah! Djokovic won Australian Open! Although I did not watch the match, but I have been supporting him since I ever stopped watching tennis matches. I hope I will pick it up someday but my dad occupied the TV 24/7. I could even barely watch anything from the TV unless he had fallen asleep. But it rarely happens because he is a retiree and TV is all his life wtf

Anyway, one week passed so fast and I will be meeting my colleague. Everyone will be catching up each other's CNY stories. I believe the 7 of us who were working in the office don't have much stories to share wtf..

Oliver did not go back KK for CNY mainly because his parents are on holiday to Harbin! So jealous that they got to witness beautiful ice sculpture. However the weather there is minus 30 degrees! Siao one! I don't want myself to look like nasi pulut there. He had reunion dinner with my family. He was bored because I am bad in social ones. So I love to stuck myself at the old people to hear stories. I prefer to listen instead of mingling around with my cousins talking how cruel to eat shark fins. wtf But I am SEATED with the younger ones, so Oliver and I were commenting how some of my cousin nieces are cute and one of them, we confirm she will become a bitch. She has full of bitchiness in her personality and rolling her eyes at this age is so inappropriate. Oliver and I had stamped her forehead -BITCH-

Started my day with bai nian with my mom. Not my dad. We were caught up in a huge argument just right before CNY. Sigh! My dad totally acts like a kid. Why when the men gets older, the more stubborn they are!

 

While my first thing to put RM2 in a angpau packet for Ah Ben

I was digging hard in my old mooncake box and finally got this fish angpau from last year. Inside still have RM50 from don't know who wtf! 

Ah Ben loves fish because he's a BEAR!

Us during the first day of CNY to watch Ah Beng the movie!

I know Ah Jib Kor supported this movie, but my mom wants to watched it and I gotta be a filial daughter

We were the first one in the cinema

And gotta camwhore on it wtf..

The movie obviously has lower budget compare the previous 2 one. Not that good as compare as the first movie on the tiger dance though. It just became worse and worse. Today I watched I Love HK 2012 and it was okay too. Why CNY movies aren't as good as last time?

Saw lion dance in The Gardens while shopping

LOL on the kids who was trying to kick the lions!

  

I was wondering why the lion dancers has to sleep on mandarin oranges like chicken laying eggs wtf

 

 Chinese restaurants are usually not open during CNY and we settled ourselves in my familiar restaurant Chilis

I have never came back to Chilis Midvalley after I stopped working here

It feels so good to come back to a place once you loved so much but the people around here are different. Services significantly dropped so much and I was utterly disappointed on the service.

 Tried something new

It was grilled chicken with portobello mushroom served with peppercorn sauce

Love love bacon cheese mashed potatoes. They are my favourite side dish ever!

  

Oliver's Beef Bacon Burger

Thanks mama for the lunch! She insisted to pay and luckily she managed to pull out her credit card LOL

 Second day was all about bai nian with my relatives. Met my relatives' dog who was dying soon. They told us this will be the last time we will be seeing him. So sad! We grew up together and seeing each other since 1995. I remembered he loves me massaging him and he is the only dog I would touch. Fish die I also cry, if I have a dog, I would cry until fi li fe leh.. 

Third to Fifth day of CNY. All about working. I enjoyed alot working because I know my manager more and more. My manager told me to belanja her makan for writing my appraisal form, recommended me to audit on the construction company, handling bigger companies and promoting 2 levels. Seriously, without my manager, I would not have learn and experience so much compare to my other colleagues.

 On Saturday, we went to Pavilion to hunt for my sister's nursery bag

 YES! We are expecting a dragon nephew/niece in this June!

Why does it have to be Gemini babies? I don't get along with Gemini!

Ignore my 12+12years old tummy

It is a long term assets wtf

Always love Pavilion's CNY decor

Had lunch at my favourite Chinese restaurant Ding Tai Fung

It was my sister's first experience, she was surprised by the service too!

No wonder Singapore's branch could win Michelin star

Thanks to my manager who recommended me. It was her all-time favourite Chinese restaurant too!

 Their famous Xiu Long Bao

Still prefer Dragon-I's xiu long bao

 And my favourite Beef Braised Noodle

The soup is so thick and I never stop slurping on the soup

The food is delicious and so as the bill. RM75 for 3 pax. To think about the superb service and delicious food, it worth every penne.

To end this post, hope everyone has a great working day ahead. Wednesday is a holiday who works in KL!

Happy Chinese Dragon Year from Ah Ben!

Scary Thunderstorm and prediction for Dragons

Yesterday, the 3rd day of the CNY, I had witnessed the scariest thunderstorm ever in my life. Just after 5-10 minutes back from work with Oliver, the weather turns black and it started to rain. Suddenly we heard some of my doors in my house closed with loud bang along with my neighbors' doors and some cars' alarm alerted including my SLK. Then mom started to shout, "Ah girl, faster close the main door! Very strong wind!" After closing the door, Oliver and I went to the glass door and witnessed all the trees were blown at 90 degrees to the left. We saw the raindrops were rain horizontally instead of vertical. When we were in amazed by the rain, my mom shouted again, "Ah girl, the rain came into our house. Faster go bring the pails and cloth. When we ran to the staircase, it is filled with rain. Leaves and rain were blown into our house through the windows on the very top of our house for ventilation purpose.

My mom and I were wiping the staircase while my dad went out bravely to switch off the SLK's alarm. LOL! My dad still thinks he is 40 years old and fight through the strong rain wtf.

My sister and brother-in-law were driving on the way to our house and was forced to stop at the roadside because they couldn't see anything on the road. When the rain subside, they came back and saw some of the trees were broke into half, bomba drove out. My sister thought it wasn't that bad and brought us out for dinner.

When we were at the park, one huge tree broke into half and landed at the terrace house opposite the park. Now we know the seriousness but we still need to go have our dinner. When we saw the restaurant was closed, we detour to Telekom building but a tree blocked the road and detour to the cross junction at Faber Tower to go back my house. However, 3 of the roads were blocked by trees. At that time, I was thinking, is this consider a disaster or what? We were forced to make a U-turn and drive home. We decided to call my mom to cook emergency dinner and we had late dinner at 8.45pm. I could even hear Bomba sawing trees in the middle of the night.

My neighbor said their roof tiles were blown. The rain came in and wet the bed. This is how bad was the wind. They hear sounds at their roof top and we were worried that our roof tiles were blown away like theirs too. Luckily, there's no dripping around my house.

When I read newspaper and looking through the photos in Facebook, a lot of trees were fallen off. I was in shocked how strong wind could damage Taman Desa in such a way. Luckily my neighbors chopped off their trees. If not, you might see my house in FB or newspaper while I am in background crying for mama.

Mama told me that our net loss is our dustbin cover were lost. We found our dustbin in the drain but not the cover wtf. Oliver told me after this thunderstorm, he wanted to fly back to KK for safety wtf. KK might have tsunami okay?

This water dragon CNY is a special year. We seldom experience rain during CNY! So, Rain = Money! Let's all the money come into my pocket!

To run off track, this is what my mom told me. If you are dragon babies, you gotta read it wtf. According to Mak Ling Ling wtf, dragon babies might have road accidents this year and we have to do scaling after CNY is over. So I said, I don't believe these things but since you want me to do scaling, I will make an appointment after CNY. So today when I was about to reach my office, the Malay girl's car in front of me make a signal to the left and steer to the left. So I thought she's gonna park at left side and I drove right to overtake her. But to my horror, she suddenly steer to the right which she's gonna bang me at anytime and I honk her like shit and managed to brake at the right time. Majibai! Put left signal but turn right! Can you imagine at this period, there is so many parking lots! Why you put left signal still have to turn right? Also, before you turn to right, at least seeeeee your right side mirror! This is what the mirror for! She did not apologize nor I scolded her, I was too scared and immediately wanted to find a parking to cool down. I am definitely making my appointment to the dentist after CNY ASAP! 

Learn how to say ABC

I was searching how to pronounce Hermes. I heard it people saying Her-mis, Her-mers, Herms and etc

I wanted to stop all the nonsense and decided to google it. It is "Er-Mers". I can show off to everybody now.

Not everyone would use Hermes in a daily basis. So I thought I would do more research for people to use it daily like Bolognese. I never thought that I have pronounced it wrongly for my past nearly 12+12 years of life. wtf!

It's bo-log-nie-seh wtf! If I order which this pronunciation to the food server, he/she will stare at me and tell me, "bo-log-nis" is it? So I think I'll stick to Carbonara forever. Please tell me Carbonara is CAR-BO-NA-RA please!

To end this post, may I know how to pronounce Giorgio Armani?

I don't think I would able to pronounce it to anyone...

Seriously this is so addictive. I would learn all these up and make you all act like a bunch of dumbass that speaks like Malaysians now!

Dragon CNY

Happy New Year to everyone! This year CNY is very quiet in the Goh's family. To be honest, it is nothing at all. Mainly is because my sister is not staying with us anymore and my brother is enjoying his life in the USA. There is only parents and me in the house. We did not stock up a lot of goods because I'll be back to work on Wednesday because of the mountains of assignment to rush. I am really regret that I did not bring some work back because I am starting to feel the CNY boreness.

I have been complaining to my mom that we don't have a non stick pan to fry sunrise egg. When we were in Robinson shopping early of the month, mom was at her favourite station and recommended me to buy a pan

My first ever pan

 Made in Korea just like Ben

Now no more problem on cooking Sunrise egg

Oliver has been craving for buffet Hi-tea for quite some time. He secretly bought the coupon before asking for permission. Because he sure know I will reject it. I personally doesn't like buffet because it is all about stuffing my stomach and making me fat. Afterall, the food is not that good too! However, he got this coupon for Swiss Garden Hotel located at Bukit Bintang for only RM30!

 Oliver went Gaga over these desserts and we had a lot!

Some of you have saw it from Oliver's FB. After he saw this photo, he handed me his iPhone and call me to take exactly same photo of it and FB with Instagram wtffffff! 

He said he has no talent in photography and handed all the responsibility to me!

 Addicted to Tiny Tower as always while I was playing Fish Fury. Sister called and said it is the noisiest game she ever played LOL
iPhone is always bad for relationship!

To be honest, I was thinking to buy iPad or iPod touch just to play games!!! AHHHHHHH~

Well, no gadget to distract me from studying and working! Please be determined!

 My favourite

Peanut butter with ice-cream waffles yumzzzz

 Oliver with his greedy dessert

 

Me pretending to love the desserts

Well, I received a text from my friend that time and was a bit emo..

After 2 hours of eating, Oliver and I were dead full. We couldn't just go home with stomach full of food. We decided to walk to Pavilion to see the dragon and meet Jeffrey and his girlfriend

It's a long and hot walk. I was wearing a cardigan and that cardigan is so freaking hot!

Met Jeffrey and Uniqlo. His gf was too shy, so we just talked a bit then went to PAVILION for this dragon!

 Time passes so fast. I am 14+10 now.. Eh hem!

 Hope everyone has a great huat year ahead!

Dragon "fan tai sui" this year, so to those believers, please go "sip tai sui"! wtf

For those who don't believe like me, wish you have a great year ahead.

=.=

Work have been extra stressful when things are not going on smoothly. Wanted to do finish up the report which has been putting in my pending list since November but my colleague has been taking her own sweet time doing her own stuff. Trying really hard to show I am impatient on her attitude but it seems like she's ignoring me well. Well, I could not do anything obvious because she's just sitting next to me. I doesn't want any conflict between us. If I couldn't meet the deadlines, the blame will be on me and not her.

Not only that, she has been accusing me in front of the manager that I did not put private on our annual lunch photo in FB and she claimed that she saw some random people commented on it! I remembered I double checked with Oliver that he could not see the photo through my profile! She knew I am really angry for this stupid accusation and made up some stupid excuse that someone has saved the photo and re-upload it on their account. Only the people I had tagged could view the photos. If he/she saved it and re-upload it, I could view it too. Also, who will be so free to re-upload it especially when my manager told all of us she prefer to remain private.

At that time, I really wanted to smack her head and scold her in the face. I hate people accusing me and that is the last thing you could ever think to put that blame on me. If I did something wrong, you could blame it on me and I would take it like a man. If you try to accuse me for doing something I have never done, I would go off and fight for my own rights. I will never let people to make me ugly.

After this incident, I put this colleague under microscope to re-evaluate her. She is my lunch buddy, used to be really close to her. Sometimes she offended me, I try to forgive her and forgot about it. But these days, she has been really mean to me and I have a limit. I guess add the accusation, my temper just went off. I am not sure what I had did wrong to her! Probably, I hinted her too much to give me the report ASAP. I raised my voice a bit and I stop talking to her since. I have been begging really badly to my manager to let me go out audit to clear my mind, but boss has better assignment for me to do. So, I have to wait and to face her ugly personality and attitude for the rest of the week! I guess my good new year streak has ended.

To make it sucker...

Oliver has been ignoring me well during our meals

He has been convincing me badly to get an iPhone, so we can communicate through Whatsapp instead talking to each other face to face. He claimed this is an "in" thing to do wohhh

I got tooooooooooooo much commitments to get an iPhone

CNY is coming soon. Trying hard to get Ah Ben a new set of clothes. 

Saw 1 polo tee in Isetan for RM30 and really wanted to get it for him

Really regret that I put him as male, because I saw a lot of cute dresses that will fit him well

Ah Ben Ah Ben ahhh, can I cut your jiao jiao off?

iPhone 4asssssss

Oliver messaged me on his arrival of his new toy. iPhone 4s. 

Poked it, Molested it, Rape it... 

Tried Siri and she doesn't understand my English. Ask about Melbourne weather, it became "Mad men" wtf! 

Now I only realize my English has a very heavy accent that Siri could not understand
