May Update

I dont know how this month really passed. It seems to be just yesterday I updated my blog, but it seems to be also so much happening. 

Beginning of the month, my dear Sun Chen come for work for two weeks. Follow her to visit one of the boss hometown at Pontian, Johor. Then still continue accompany her go eat all the local food - following the footsteps two years back when we first met and I just started the working life. 

Roti canai, leicha, asam laksa, and my new favorite char kuey teow. Boss sees I only bring her to all these local food, she brought us to some new places such as New Chua Kee Seafood Restaurant, Anna's Kitchen (Dare myself to try out the Petai Fried Rice, and it appears to be really nice. )

See the big crab! @New Chua Kee Seafood Restaurant

What is different of her trip, she have her boyfriend already! So I become the obstacle and keep take her away. XD. 

Right before Sun Chen last few days in Malaysia, my mum come to stay with me in Johor. It is really hard if one do not know what to do except for the cooking and television. She brought all the food from Melaka to Johor, and my house's kitchen is not suitable to fry. But there has been 10 days of yong tauhu supply. 

The only day that I bring my mum out for food, 

she asked for vege and Japanese, 

I brought her to the Bushidao Shabu2, 

but she complain that it is only mushroom, not vegetables. >.<

Had been leave home for too long, office life also another world that probably my mum cannot imagine. While two people in the same room having two different life, disaster do happen. She cannot sleep at night and consequence my sleeping time also affected. End up she requested to go to stay with my aunt at Kulai and I will pick her up next weekend (4th Jun) to sent her back to Melaka.

Not having much time to continue my sports but managed to join the 5 km run by my company and also 10 km night run at UTM. Time to resume for the training. August will be the next half marathon before the Nov Full Marathon. Final try and I will go with half marathon to keep the running spirit.

Meanwhile, time to get exposure to my new house's gymnasium and also swimming pool.

Just schedule a meet up session with my dear junior generations. Then month end will attend my second APAC Early Career Training Program Part two.

Start of May: Move out, Short Getaway to Pontian, Shopping

The story started at last week, I have a packed schedule although it is a long weekend.

Started to shift my stuffs to the new house after hiking, farewell with my housemates before Marian is returning to her home country. It has been a nice stay of 18 months with tonnes of freedom and privacy in the house. How time flies. It is just like yesterday she inform us that she has an opportunity to continue working with Kerry near to her home.

Feeling happy for her to be back to her kids, and looking forward for the next time we meet, maybe no more Malaysia but their home country or even the new place that I am going to explore. Where will be the next destination? It creates a new bucket list in my travel plan.

I finally make the last round on Thu night, move all my belongings to my car and bring them back to Melaka, and then full loaded again back to Johor. Gotta try my best not to buy new stuff into the house and also try finish up those already in within this year.

Returned home after Fri dinner, Jia Yi is the one accompany me for dinner and get ready for her exam preparations. 

Round Melaka for almost whole day, pick up my sis, sleep, go eat Chicken Rice Ball (oh well, I know right, AGAIN!) Settle my tax filling, lunch, go out settle her wedding stuff preparations, which it will be happening in about a month time! 

Too busy until I forgotten to update my friend who is also back to home for the long weekend. I have help my sister to book the earliest bus ticket to sent her off to bus station and start my journey back to Johor. 

One of the first China colleague that I get to know after I enter the workplace a.k.a my once upon a time dinner mate come to Malaysia for work purpose invited me to be a big light bulb for a day trip to Pontian, Johor, hosted by our manager. Some of my coursemate have told me to visit Tanjung Piai before but due to the closure of some part of it so I have yet to plan for a visit. 

Go to Pontian, met Berlin in person (Janice's dog) - I dare not to touch any live animals... >.< but she is cute, ate Pontion Ah Poh Bakuteh - I like the herbal taste! Asam Fish, “Ginger Wine Chicken" (姜酒鸡）, Loh Bak, A day started with FOODDDDDDDDDDDD!

Then started our journey to Tanjung Piai, and go to Kukup. I missed one of the family trip few years back with my parents. Finally I have the chance to see these mangrove habitats after so many years study from Geography. The one from Kukup seems much cleaner with the sand. 

Get to eat fresh fish again after few hours of digestion. Special fried noodles with fish, fish soups, spring rolls, coconut jelly, etc etc. Get to see all the houses build above the sea again. Sun Chen reminds us of Penang Chew Jetty. 

End of one day trip. 

Monday, last day of my long weekend, first day sleeping in the new room. 

My ex colleague a.k.a one of the long lost friends (6 years!) a.k.a Wai San has come to Johor and find me, ask me to bring her for some local food and also do shopping. Some friendship is just so simple, even though it has been a long time but once meet up you don't feel it awkward. She is one of them. Had a day laughing with her. 

Due to did not open my internet at all, I did not noticed it is her birthday. What a big surprise! She must be likes me a lot. Muahaha. As a credit to her for coming all the way from Singapore and find me in this special day, we go for a piece of cake after a crazy shopping day before sending her off back.  

May come too soon and it will sure to be fully occupied again. I am thankful for all the people that have make me smile and cherish my life. Well, take it easy and ALL is WELL.
