We went to an Indian neighbour's wedding dinner. It was being organized in an association's hall.
We reached there quite early at about 7pm. The place looked really grand as the stage, tables and chairs were well decorated and arranged. However, not many people reached at the moment and we were being invited to be seated and waited in the hall. Initially, we thought of the dinner was alike Chinese's wedding dinner. So, we were reconsidering on the amount of token for this wedding greeting. However, it was just a buffet with simple dishes only, which including curry, rice, vegetables, dessert and etc...... Luckily vegan food was served as well which suited us more but in fact I still felt uneasy on my throat.
The funniest part was the token of greeting. We went to washroom to change the amount for twice. Firstly increasing from 60 to 80, then decreasing from 80 to 60 again. LOL.

Such a rushing early morning until I forgot to bring my breakfast bread to company. I had to buy again in the petrol station nearby my work place.
These days, I was a bit moody and thought of doing own business. Sigh, I just dared not make a start yet. Struggling...... What business? Loss? Earn? Invest? Preference? Rental? Support?

I felt the economic rice dishes in my company's cafeteria were getting worse. The dish choices were limited. The worst thing was some dishes were repeated day by day. Such a lousy new operator and hate it.
I was still surveying on a trip, either in Christmas or Chinese New Year break. Sigh, I had no idea how to start the planning as I never really plan an oversea trip before.

I was planning an oversea trip for this coming Chinese New Year. Unfortunately, I found out that it is too expensive for traveling during this peak season. I browsed and searched for air ticket and hotel for neighbour countries, especially Hatyai (Thailand) via the internet. It was just too expensive and not worth it.

I felt dissapointed as most of my students couldn't solve the problem in the quiz. Perhaps, I over estimated their abilities.
In that day's lesson, I thought I shouldn't talk to my students in that manner. It was quite negative and discouraging. "......If an exact same question is given in the next quiz and you are still unable to solve it, then it is no longer my problem......". I was quite regret in talking these to my dear students. It seemed like I was irresponsible.

Mum did not bring out her mobile phone. It was really inconvenient as I wasn't able to contact her while fetching her from sister's place. Luckily, she waited nearby the condominium's entrance during that time. In this context, it seemed like mobile phone becomes a necessity instead of a luxury product. If it comes to the worse case, I have to ask the guard to contact mum via intercom to my sister's unit.

1. Go to buy vegetables and sweetcorn by the roadside near to my house
2. Go to buy kuih / rubbish container in the morning market. (not available)

I cut grass at the compound in front of my house early in the morning. It was really tiring.
In the afternoon, I had a sad dream during my nap. I dreamed of my dad. I can't really remember the dream but I felt the sadness when I woke up. I missed my dad.
At night, we went for shopping and dinner in the shopping mall. The restaurant business wasn't good as compared during its' new opening. Hopefully it will consider for a price cut on their food because they are expensive.

My junior colleague treated me for lunch to show her appreciation on my job recommendation for her. Besides, she treated another colleague for his help throughout her probationary period. Such a nice relationship among colleagues nowadays.
However, sometimes I felt insecure to my a colleague. I wasn't sure how sincere was he on our colleague relationship. Hopefully our good relationship remained until the end. I am the kind of person who will not forgive a person if I am being betrayed by him or her.

I went to have my lunch with colleagues at the Chinese coffee shop which is located opposite to my school. We had a long chat over there.

I sacrificed part of my time for students as they asked for earlier laboratories sessions for their convenience. In fact, it was really tiring but meaningful. I got to communicate better with students on topics outsides from my class, like the conditions of other classes.

It was a public holiday - First day of Islam Calendar.
I stayed at home. Online......Facebook......Slept......
Lifeless...... as the bad mood was still bringing forward from the previous day.

It was a dating arrangement day. I was damn moody in the whole day.
I was driving recklessly on the back home journey. Mum cried and I cried as well on the way home due to our disputes and my emergency braking. We went home and I cried in my shower.
At last, we went to the date as it was already being arranged. I didn't feel like talking much as I was still moody at the moment. Such an awkward contact exchanging process at the end of the dating which was instructed by the elderly. We exchanged phone number finally.

I had a relative gathering on the day. It was quite a great event as I had a chance to chit-chat with them.
On the day, I felt really sad on another side. I got to know mum and aunt was arranging a meeting for me with a lady on the next day. In fact, I knew about this arrangement since a few day ago. I hated to have such arrangement. I wasn't readied. I wanted to be alone at the moment. It was complicated. Sigh......

It was Deepavali holiday. The shipping was finally arranged as scheduled previously. As mentioned by the lady boss previously, the lorry driver was a Malay. Surprisingly, an Indian family sent the mattress to me on Deepavali. The lorry driver and his children wore their festive attire and moved the mattress for me. I felt pathetic on them as they supposed to celebrate their festival at home. I nearly had forgotten to ask them to throw the old mattress for me as promised by the lady boss. Luckily, mum reminded me and I called the lady boss the verify on that matter as the lorry driver refused to move it at the beginning.
At night, I went to have a drink with my university friends. I didn't meet some of them after graduation. We had a nice chat. However, it was an awkward situation when it came to billing. Waiting for each others to pay the bill was a big problem. Any good suggestion on this problem? Anyway, I wasn't the "boss" for this round. LOL.

I was waiting in the car for about an hour after work. It was because mum was doing her shopping with sister in KL and sister's house key was not with me at the moment. Luckily i had my students' test paper to mark in the car or else I couldn't really stand with this poor arrangement.
Later, we went to have our dinner in a Chinese style coffee shop. Sister ordered a soup which I felt disgusting after drinking. Perhaps I didn't take meat for quite some time and the soup was cooked by meat bones and cuttle fish with some white carrot. Felt like to vomit.

Mum and I went to big sister's house for overnight as little niece followed her family for a wedding ceremony of her aunt in outstation. We did a handover near to my working place in the early morning.
At noon, sister, mum and I went to have lunch in the shopping mall. I stole some time to accompany mum for cloth shopping during my lunch time.
At night, mum suggested to go for a movie initially. However it ended up with a cloth shopping in the mall due to unsuitable movie time and tiredness of mum's eyes. In fact it was very boring shopping.

I was waiting for the call from the lady boss of the furniture shop on the arrangement of mattress shipping. Unfortunately there was no call received from her. She promised to send the mattress to me on the coming Saturday upon my purchase since last week. I called her on Tuesday to confirm on the shipping as I noticed the coming Saturday was Deepavali holiday. Then she told me that the shipping would change to Friday or other days. She said that she would call me for the confirmation. Such an irresponsible shop owner as I did not receive call from her throughout the day. I was kinda worry as I made the full payment via credit card upon the deal previously. I shouldn't pay in full next time for any purchases.

I gave a phase test to my students on the day. After the test, I had a quick glance on their solutions and I thought my students did badly in it. After marking, students still managed to carry quite a handful of marks. I felt relief because at least the students can perform in the test which mean they understood my teaching.
At night, I updated some of my photos in Facebook.

I went to reload my Touch n Go card and got my festive & 20% toll rebate early in the morning at the toll office on my way to work. The rebate is a frequent travellers programme sponsored by Malaysian Government for
all qualifed Touch ’n Go (TnG) card users who use the TnG card for toll
payment at all highways from September 1, 2009 onwards. Should I be thankful and appreciate to the government for reducing my living cost which becoming higher from day to day? Should I deserve a better public transport instead of paying so much on the highway tolls?
I had my lunch at the cafeteria with my colleagues and coincidentally our school head was together with us. The ambient was kinda awkward. We were chatting while eating. Topic was surrounded with the recently announced 2014 budget which were the sugar subsidy cancellation and Goods and Services Tax (GST) implementation. It seemed like everyone was not happy with the new budget. Citizen will feel the pain of inflation very soon due to the chaining effect of petrol and sugar price increment recently.

I went to my sister's "villa" for picnic. In fact, I only accompanied nieces for swimming as it was really hot at noon. We had some tidbits besides the pool and in the "villa" too.
After that, we went out for lunch. Another family reunion in a restaurant.
I felt really tired when I reached home.

I went to have my lunch with colleagues at the Chinese style coffee shop nearby my school.
It was quite some times I didn't go there and food prices were all increased. Perhaps, fuel price increment effected a lot on these.
Minimum RM5 per serving for most of the stalls. No more RM4.80 as I remembered in my last visit.
My lunch cost = RM5 for
1. White rice
2. Vegetable yao mak
3. Long bean fried egg
4. Vegetarian char siew pork

It was a memorandum signing ceremony between schools for future collaboration. There were reporters in the event.
Staff members including me were invited via email by our superior to witness the signing event. Eventually I made clear from colleagues that invitation meant compulsory attendance. LOL, boss.

9am: brought nieces to the nearby park for some fun. They enjoyed themselves over there.
10am: sister's insurance agent came for mum's policy lost matter. It ended up with her update to me on new policy. It seemed attractive with better coverage.
11am: fetched mum from charity's helping.
12pm: groceries shopping at a rice shop.
1pm: went for lunch at the restaurant which we donated vegan meals for public. Unexpectedly, many people came to take their meals by that time.
2pm: took letters from old house.
2.30pm: went shopping with mum and sister's family for nieces' T-shirt.
7pm: went for dinner with mum at the restaurant which was closed on previous day. The closure was due to their outstation job based on the staff feedback.

US drama series were coming back......
The vampire diaries, Supernatural, Arrow......
I felt kinda bored at home as mum was still at sister's place. So I was watching the dramas.
At night, we planned to meet at a better class vegetarian restaurant for the special day celebration. Unfortunately it was closed for the day. Most of the vegetarian restaurants were full with people as it was the day 15th of month in lunar calendar. Finally, we went to a lower class restaurant and the crowd was not that bad.
Our dishes were......
1. Tofu (no eggs type)
2. Vegan Chicken (so-so)
3. Sweet Potato Leaves (nice......ordered for another plate)
4. Vegan Fish (good)
