Lou Sang 2

HELLOO~~ Happy Chinese New Year!!

Sorry for the delayed post though.
My bro came back home a day before the reunion dinner. I was looking for a halal restaurant to have my sister in law try out the lou sang culture. Though soon later I realize it's not the traditional Chinese culture to have lou sang.

Before it happens...

HERE IT GOES! LOU AHHH!!

Of dad, bro and sis in law. Natalia just watch us do it.

Well, my sister in law is not used to it. Perhaps because of the sauce. I don't really enjoy it either and it's such a big portion for 4 of us though we asked if we could have smaller portion already.

That night, we had a simple dinner before we head over to Penang for Chinese New Year.

Which marks the sign that my brother has no fate with my dad's car.

I'll post that up in another post... someday if I ever remember. :P

As usual,  this post has been delayed from its publishing since 2 weeks ago. :D

Still can't let go

It's easy to be said than done. I really do hope that time will heal. She has gone for about 2 years now. My feeling is so mixed. Sometimes I feel that it is a good thing that she has free from her worldly sufferings but sometimes I miss her so much that I wish she'll still be around. 

How is she doing now? Can souls have feeling? Can she actually see what I'm doing now? 

I tried to hold back the tears whenever someone or I talk about her. I tried to act that I have moved on. Or at least act that I am okay with it. But the fact is, I'm not. 

If this is a bad dream, wake me up from it now... I miss you, mom. 

Lou Sang 1 (I'm expecting more)

ALRIGHT! I got my nails painted in GOLD!

I wanted to do a shimmering light pink. COME ON.. I'm already doing PINK.. But the girls say it's too tame and "It's CNY!". So I have to choose other color.

So I sat there, stood there for almost 15 minutes to pick my color again. This time, I picked a dark gold. I didn't actually wanted to make same color as boss, that's why I went with the dark one. Other colors were too bold for me and I didn't want to have red one.
So here you go! GOLD finger(nail)s !

 

 After that, we went shopping for a bit before meeting the rest of the gang for lou sang!

Group photos first!

Look at everyone wearing red. That's the theme colour. Boss E said it looks like some company dinner. LOL.

Indeed it does. I was the rebellious one with not-so-red red shirt!

Here comes the Yee Sang! Looks good right?! IT TASTE GOOD AS WELL!!! Look at the amount of SALMON ♥

LOU AH!!!!!! 

 

Jon and I

After the dinner, we just sat and chill and talked for quite some time. It's been so long since we have the whole gang gathered! It was really a good night. I enjoyed it a lot. :)

We moved our location to First Avenue rooftop because we crave for dessert and the dessert at the restaurant we had our dinner doesn't look appealing.

Here's another photo of Jon and I with the amazing view behind!

Happy CNY in advance all!

 

Challege Accepted.

TGIF! Woohoo!!

So last Friday I followed my boyfie to his colleague's farewell activity.The main agenda was Break the Code+ . Which is something similiar to Escape Room. Basically, it requires common sense and more thinking to escape from whichever theme room you're trapped in.

 

Sounds simple? Wait until you're in there. You're given one hour timer to crack the codes from the given hint to unlock doors and locked boxes.Some hints are pretty obvious, some requires thinking. Being in a group of 7 people, I think we were on the advantage side.

We manage to crack the codes quite fast but we're just lacking on knowledge on how the technology works. It requires some accuracy to trigger the result. 

I'm not going to talk more about the game. You guys who are interested could go and try it yourselves. All I could say is that it's fun and more straightforward compared to Escape Room. I would definitely return for more (Maybe I should ask my brother to come with me). 

After that, we went to have some drink at First Avenue's rooftop. Which was my first time being there. I didn't know such a place existed. The food was nice too. That night was well spent eventhough we went home late. :)

Thanks dearie for bringing me along.

Finally did it...

What done? Sorry, I've been busy working up the mock up Android application that I have no time to throw in random post to my blog.

--------------------------------------

That being said,  I just continued to write this post after a week.The mock up was long done actually, I was just caught up with meetings.

I'm not sure how many of my colleagues know about this blog of mine, but here's the supposedly no-longer-a-secret-'s-secret.... *cue drum roll*......  

I HAVE TENDERED MY RESIGNATION!

It wasn't such a rush decision. I've been thinking about it since last year. In fact, not like my company is treating me bad. I just feel like I don't want to delay it anymore and I wanted to make a move.

Here's a few words about my company and reason behind my decision.

I've been in this company since January 2012 as an intern. In fact, being an intern was my very first time experience working life. I do not have any past experience in working or being in an office before.

Let me summarize my intern life. Working here as an intern, I learned a lot. More specifically on being hands on on real project and first time working on Android from scratch. I have a good guidance from my ex manager. Since it was an internal project, I didn't get much pressure and stress on the deadline. I slowly enhance and learn to write code with better quality and standard. Those are pretty much thanks to the guidance and advice from my seniors here. There are many jargon that I learned too and also to speak like a programmer. You know, applying those jargon into everyday life conversation. I used to be afraid of code review. Knowing that my code will definitely get some comments because I was inexperience but I know it was a good thing so to improve oneself and the code quality. 

One fine day, after a month into my internship, my ex manager offered me a permanent position in this company. Which I must say, I was very delighted. I get good reviews from him and I was happy to accept the position. My simple thought was that I don't have to go through interviews! That wasn't the only reason. I actually enjoy working here. The people are nice and friendly, more importantly they are willing to teach me this newbie!

Over the years, I got to know them better and grew closer to them. After some time, one-by-one of my closest colleague, left and move on with their new job. Oh ya! Here is where I got to know Jon too ♥.. So Syntronic has definitely made my life fruitful besides technically, socially too. I got to know kak Tutik even better and grew close to her like a younger sister. After my mom's passing, I tend to ask her for advice on family things whether about relationship or chores. I feel like she's a motherly figure to me although she insist on saying she's like a sister to me. Haha.

I used to be quiet, then talkative but I guess all changed when the closer group of mine had left. I became less talkative and tend to keep myself reserved. I learned to talk more with my manager at that moment because our team used to go for lunch together. It all gone when I learned to get used to it. That manager had resigned too. I look up to him for many matters. If he is married, he would be like a fatherly figure to me in the office. I felt surprise when I hear the news from him. Nevertheless, I wouldn't bet that he would stay for long anyway. Everyone has their own path. Even I do now.

So there you go, my life in Syntronic which had taught me many things and let me experience the many kinds of people on earth. An eye opener to me since I was quite an introvert. I learned to be more expressive and be more observant of the people around me. This company is really good for freshies. I don't know how it is like for the new comers, but as for me, this company is really good for my learning curve as freshie. I even got to deal with customers directly, of course, on technical terms only.

Such a long post about my working life. Hah !

Oh before I forget, I remembered I read an article before that says that if one employee decorates their cubicle/station with their personal items, that employee is feeling comfortable at work.  It is a good vibe. I'll share a photo of my messy cubicle at work when I have the chance. (I decorated before I read the article)

Here's my cubicle image
