Selamat Hari Merdeka!

Saw this at LCCT carpark today after meeting.

Couldn't resist myself from capturing this.

Happy Independence Day, Malaysia!

Finally, I've informed everyone...

Today, 24th August 2009 - I have finally informed all of my clients that I will be leaving my beloved company, Eyeblaster.

It was a tough decision but I think it will be a better career move for me.
Everyone was supportive and I am glad about it.

I will miss my 2 partner in crime and all the jokes & information sharing session with them during office hour and lunch.

I wish everyone the best of luck and keep in touch!

Baby Ashlynn - close to 2 months

Little Ashlynn is getting cuter and cuter each day.
Captured this when we brought Annabelle to the playground and I was making funny faces to make Little Ashlynn smile.
Apparently she wanted milk that time and ended up crying.
*mission failed*

Suzi's Corner @ Jln. Ampang - Cheat My Money!

Darren's friend recommended this place called Suzi's Corner @ Jalan Ampang. We thought of trying it out yesterday for dinner as it was on our way to a friend's house. It looks more like a mamak by the roadside and the place was full of "ang moh". No wonder his friend recommended that place. Maybe she felt like home. She's an ang moh.

We ordered a "big" glass of watermelon juice. Noticed that I've emphasized on the word "big"?

The usual big glass of watermelon juice is about 22cm tall + 6cm wide (roughly). But this is approximately 17cm tall + 6cm wide. It is like 1/2 glass more of the usual small size.

This is not the end! Guess how much it cost....................

RM 8 !!

I almost faint! I couldn't believe it so I ask for the menu to double confirm. The menu stated RM 6 for a big glass. So I confronted the guy and he ask his "manager" about it. They were speaking in Tamil and I have no clue what sort of rubbish explanation they are trying to give me. The manager says "Sorry, we have increased the price but have not change the price on menu. Watermelon price increased so we have to increase it too." Nonsense! Not acceptable!

Their lamb chop isn't that bad and the price is reasonable. You can go there for the food but bring your own drink (if they don't stop you)!

我要学华语 <-- I want to learn Mandarin

我觉得华语是很重要。

因为华语歌是很好唱的。

我觉得memorizing lyrics requires a lot of time.

你们要为我加油！

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

Translation:

I think Mandarin is very important.

Because Mandarin song is very nice to sing.

I think memorizing lyrics requires a lot of time.

You guys need to support me!

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

To be honest, I have a lot more to say.

But it is so tough!

I know how to pronounce it but I couldn't figure out which character represents the meaning that I want.

*sweat*

- Thanks to Ping Jen for correcting my wrong use of chinese characters -

Karen is Back On!

It has been AGESSSSSSSS since my last post.

I'm not gonna give any reason to make myself look nor feel better as I am guilty for it.

Thanks to CK for checking this out and reminding me about my blog. *Hah!*

Honestly, when I am trying to login - I don't even remember my password!

Now that proves I have not been checking out this page for a long time.

Either that, I've grown older and memory worsen.

Well, I think all of the above applies. Hahahaha!

When I was browsing through to get my hands dirty again, I saw several comments pending and noticed one of it was quite nasty "yadda yadda yadda.... stupid bit*h!"

If it's me years ago, I would have gone crazy and curse the fella.

But surprisingly, I felt sorry for that fella and wonders what makes him so pissed off that he needs to release his tension online...

Oh well... I hope he feels better now... and if he doesn't like it... stop reading... =)

I was tweeting and fb-ing about this earlier, I guess it's worth repeating myself again here:

"The way to happiness is to keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simple, expect little, give more. Fill your life with love and scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others."

Signing off,

New Release from Eyeblaster - Widgets

The concept is upon viewing an advert online, a user has the option to post the viral content to popular social networking sites such as Blogger, Facebook, MySpace...etc by simply selecting their destination of choice from within the ad itself. This in turn not only they are allowed to display it on their own page, but to also forward it to friends, who in turn displays the content on their own social networking pages as well. It's definitely a dream come true to all advertisers!

But the real beauty is that all of this viral effect is no longer blind, but displaying the data gleaned from opportunity direct within Eyeblaster’s reports.

Try it yourself. =)

Thanks everyone! *kisses*

I know I have not been blogging for quite some time.
But I have to take time to write this.

First of all, I would like to thank those who called, sms-ed, IM-ed...etc.
Not the gift that matters but it's the small gesture and wishes that makes me happy. =)

It was really warm and heartfelt to find out that my colleague and partner-in-crime, Melissa took the effort to arrange something on my birthday. Thanks, babe! It is really sweet of you.
Also, thanks to all MPYR-ians who has supported this. =)

Most importantly, it was touching and super duper ooper sweet to receive a call from my friend all the way from France. Fabrice, thanks for calling! My boring working birthday transformed into superbly wonderful birthday after your call. *gros bisous*

I love you guys, heaps!
*hugs and kisses*
