I remembered one of your new year's resolutions for this year was to fill a jar with notes of good things that happen. Hope you actually made it through the year and it has already been filled with many many notes by now before 2013 comes to a close =)

At one point or another, we'll come across a point of time where we've said something we shouldn't. I had that moment and i regretted it till today, almost 4 years now. That something i said was simply "I hate you", only 3 words long but has hurt her quite deeply. If i ever have the chance, I wish i could tell her I'm sorry.

Food for thought before the new year.
- Never say something you didn't mean to because you never know how much it'll hurt someone.

What a way to end my last weekend on 2013!

Woke up at 7am for work on Saturday. Went for my friend's open house in Klang. Since i wasn't sure of the location, I decided to park at Sunway Condo and carpool with another friend. Was shock to see Sunway U has changed quite alot cause I've not been there since 2010. It has been almost 4 years.

Got to my friend's house at 930pm and was welcomed with food, lots of it. Ate quite alot of high cholesterol food + some beers and chatted till 1+ am before going to sleep.

Woke up at 7am the next morn as we wanted to eat this really famous BKT on Jalan Chan Ah Choo and we had to be there early to get a table. The BKT + chinese tea combo was holiao. Satisfied!

Since we were done eating rather early, we end up being in Pyramid at 10am. Madness!! Tried our luck to get tix for Jackie Chan's Police Story 2013 and we did. Reaching early does have it's benefits. Movie was good!

Then we headed to SS15 to try out Uncle Seng's handmade noodles. The line was long but it's nothing compared to the Pork Noodle next door. Average wait time for pork noodle = ~1 hour or more while ours were ~30 mins.

With tummies filled, we headed back to Klang to hibernate for the afternoon prior to our seafood dinner feast tonight at Perlama Restaurant. Everything we ordered were either cholesterol filled or deep fried.

To feast at Klang, one must not bring along his/her cholesterol intake chart because by the end of the day, you'll definitely go off chart.

My chart should read roughly 200% by now. Just in time for my new year's resolution of exercising more maybe?

I would wanna spend my Christmas with that one person, and that person is you!
Though she might be far away right now in a country famous for their 小吃, i hope it would be a memorable one for her as she celebrates Christmas at a place she has always dreamt of visiting.

Merry Christmas to you!

Sometimes I wish,

I wish we could start all over
Can we be strangers again?
As i looked back at all the laughters and long conversation we used to have
We know so much about each other and yet i feel so distance from you now
I don't mind to relearn what i already know about you
Just like how it used to be
I'll bring you to places you wish to go
Share the food you love to eat
And lend my ear when you need to rant
And if we could go back till the time when our friendship just started
Will you give each other
A second chance?

A Christmas-y Christmas

I know i would probably get alot of bashing saying this but to me, the Christmas feel i get back in Malaysia is better than the ones i had in the US. Though i get to see white christmas, frosty the snowman dressed in deco lights and also real christmas tree covered in snow. But ironically, nothing beats being in Malaysia during Christmas time standing among fake snow, styrofoam snowman and plastic christmas tree while listening to the "White Christmas" tune.

A white christmas isn't the best thing to have when i think of what i have to go through when it snows. The good and bad come as a package, just so you know =P

Christmas lights on christmas tree. LIKE

Christmas decoration on houses. LIKE

Snow on tree. LIKE


































Snowstorm. DISLIKE

Snow pile. Notice the thickness on my bike's seat? DISLIKE 















Lastly, hailstorm!! DOUBLE DISLIKE












But i have to admit. When it snows, it's darn romantic!!!

Gosh it has been raining for more than 12 hours today. I actually felt cold being inside my house and my room feels like a fridge. Guess i would need to hide in my blanket tonight.

p/s: She's having her exams this week so i hope the best for her and i'll commit her in prayer.

WOAH it's already December!!

Was looking back at some posts I wrote and remembered exactly a year ago at this moment, i was about to arrive at Tokyo Haneda International Airport. The anticipations, excitements and thrills of finally being in Tokyo. Equipped with only 1% Japanese vocabulary and an address, thank God we managed to get to our accommodation.

Had a few visitors to the lab today and when they were asked by my boss of what they think of the lab, was glad to hear them said it was "Impressive"! One of the visitors then add on to say that "The most important thing to a lab is not about having nice equipment or facility, it's about having people who really knows what they are doing. It's the people that makes all the difference, not the facility nor equipment."

Am glad there are people who will appreciate the efforts my colleague and I had put in. From an empty space to a fully constructed lab and setting up, we had our hands on every tiny bit of everything.

I would say the lab was built, with a personal feel!
