New Chapter of my life.

MY NEW CHAPTER OF LIFE IS AWESOME!

It's just a short update. It's been a while since I blogged. The new chapter of life is totally a new challenge and adventurous to me..YES! What I meant here is my working life. Being a fresh graduate, I am truly blessed with entering a good organization where it allows me to learn a lot in a good environment together with a bunch of amazing peoples around me. Life is kinda ridiculous to me at this moment because I hate finance a lot back in university time and somehow I ended up in this industry as I am currently working in OCBC bank

if anyone of you doesn't know about it. Life can be hard, life can be happy, It just the way you make your life your own. You lead your life as you make it. It might sometimes life is dull, Sometimes you can't live life the way you would like to. So yeah :)

In this new chapter of life...someone has came into my life...that make me perhaps a better person and yet to be stronger to face this challenge...

a person who comes in early and stays late...a parent who pushes us to be our best, even when they really want to push us over a cliff..a tour guide always point things out the landmarks to the left and right, like this is your workspace and this my workspace..a person like a circus ring leader, even when the

lions try to eat us for breakfast, they crack their whip and say, “The show must go on!”and a weather forecaster, when a day looks cloudy they still can predict sunshine for tomorrow to give us things to look forward too. That's the greatest about it but well, where there is a will ... I'll find a way so I will battle up life's hill. Day after day like many who have come and gone before me,I will survive and succeed, just wait...the right time and day to come!:)

Stay tuned with me for more updates.

Love,

Perfecto Weekends

.........I was still sleeping like a baby at this moment.....

and my phone rang at about 11am...I wanted not to answer the call

somehow, I decided to pick up the phone....Kelvin woke me up and said,

eh later I come pick you around noon, let's go Cameron. I was like...U serious? Awww

That's how the random plan came up when the guys decided to go Penang for Sat relaxing

and hosted the two girls who came from Germany by Jason :DD ......

Started our jounery at 12.30pm and reached the hill at almost 2pm..

We stopped at those road side markets and walked around.

Our 1st destination was at this Barat Tea Farm but it wasn't that good...

So I suggested them to go Teh Boh Plantation...It's way much nicer than other tea plantation..

Walking up there:D

Myself with the tea leaves:)

It smells so good:)

With the girls from Germany:) awesome peepos!

Saturday tea time. My lovely passion mandarin tea

Me love tea;)

With the champion:) LOL

Next...something that you never missed when you visit Cameron.. which is the STRAWBERRIES! Visited Rajah Strawberry Farm.Trust me, they have the most cheap and fresh strawberries compared to those at the market. Had their famous strawberries dessert. It's just so awesomeeee! Eating spree is ON! :) hahaha. FYI, this Rajah Strawberry Farm is just opposite the Equatorial Hotel. Please search GPS if you can't find it. lol

Belgium wafer with choc and strawberries totally a bliss:)

Loves it to the max!

The weather was kinda bitch too cause it was raining but we did thank to the rain, it makes the weather so cozy and windy. So it is the best time for STEAMBOAT! the German girls know it as Hot pot, or perhaps fondue..instead of steamboat. So it's pretty amazed them We went to have this charcoal steamboat with organic vegetables. Sounds so good eh? HAHAHA

The steamboat was great too!It's just RM12 per person and free refill for the vegetables. I mean eat all you want :DD

Done steamboat about 7pm. We decided to leave and off back to Ipoh for 2nd round. I had the crabbie fest at the famous place in Ipoh Garden East for the crabs! No doubt it really taste good but it's expensive laaa! well, it's okay la. the champion boss treated us. THANK YOU BOSS! HAHAHA!

Superbbbbbbb:)))

Feel hungry now? HAHAHA! ask me where is this place if you would like to go! Hehe!

That's all for now. Stay tuned...Coming up will post about the lovely PENANG ISLAND! :D

Love,
Karen

Taste of Happiness

What's your favourite flavor? Your number one taste.

Something so yummy till you dare not let waste or

other great food sensation such as salt, bitter, sour or sweet
that would excites your tastebuds like crazy. Life is like a taste.

Oh well..its only in two weeks time..my life has been went through a totally major changes

from the sweet to the bitter...back to sour...and now I should name it sweet instead.

I just gotta admit and believe that, God sent you to me just to learn from you but not be with you till the end. That's how it makes me a better person today :) I'm blessed.

From the day you choose to leave me..it's the day I could stand any stronger for being who am I today.

Things could be any worst bitter, when mum came back and break me the news where she has to go for an operation regarding her uterus. Mum was worried and scared as she has to go for such major operation at her senior age..she looked at me and tears dropped, makes me feel that I must be strong to support her to go for this major thing and comfort her that things gonna be fine no matter what. After some discussion with bro, mum has decided to go for the operation.She has to go for full body check up before schedule the operation which probably falls on next week.

After a thunderstorm, its time to have some sweet stuffs. What is it about? :)

The completion of a chapter in my life. Results released and it was fantastic! I'm officially being a fresh grad now and also secure myself a job which determine myself a better future! again, I am blessed.

Moving on into another stage of life is totally a brand new challenge in life. I am so used with my comfort zone and I just got to convince myself to step out. I always have my very own mind set that, it's not the matter you can a not, it's a matter you want it or not.

As I go through all kinds of feelings and experiences in my journey through life -- delight, surprise, chagrin, dismay -- I hold this question as a guiding light: "What do I really need right now to be happy?" I couldn't ask for more. I pray that mum is gonna be alright and have a good health for my family.

Being happy is something I have to learn. I just gotta surprise myself by saying "Wow, this is it. I guess I'm happy. I got a home I love. A career that I would love in the future. I'm even feeling more and more at peace with myself." If there's something else to happiness, let me know. I'm ambitious for that, too. :)

Love,

A beautiful journey

Last weekends was a blast as I spent a blissful time with the family and relatives in KL! Besides that, I went for 2nd interview with Panasonic on Friday morning. It wasn't that good , I think! As they seems had a very high expectation and doubt my ability to hold the position being a fresh grad. Oh well, I believed a fresh grad, all needed is just a chance or opportunity to perform. Or else, how to gain the experience . Your so called working experience needed in the job requirement. Anyhow, I am still jobless and looking some other good job opportunities for me.

The weekends was good started with my cousin's bro , Ivan and his fiancée, Ili engagement ceremony. It's a Malay tradition ceremony for an engagement. Yes! Cousin is from Malay family as aunt married a Malay which means :P It sucha brand new experience for me as I never attend any engagement ceremony for Malay tradition and getting know more their culture is suchaa good brand new thing for me. It's totally amazing.

The place taken at Bangi:)

A day before, the family gathered together (groom side) ..and did the preparation for the lovely couple. Preparing their *hantaran* to the bride side with the decoration and stuffs.

The key necklace and diamond ring.

The "hantaran" thingy that I meant

For you information, if the groom side, going to send 5items to the bride side, then the bride side will return in 7 items. It must be odd numbers. in terms of sending the *hantaran* for the engagement ceremony. Interesting much I would said.

Me in the baju kebaya! Go tradition with the cousins as well

Engagement is not just a formality but a very beautiful custom, a joyful event for a couple in love. Love is such a miracle, sweet as can be that will always remain a complete mystery.

The happiness on her face :)

For though it is something that's centuries old and it cannot be purchased for silver or gold. But instead must be given of one's own free will and received with no promises it must fulfill and once it's exchanged in this time-honoured way.

We are so happy about your engagement...
How wonderful that the two of you
Have found love together
And decided to say 'I do'.

I believed there's nothing that love cannot manage to say. No problems too great and no problems too small. For love, like a miracle, conquers them all and leaves in their place such a feeling of peace.

That joy, just like love, cannot help but increase! As we have grown up, each of the the family members is happy with cousin bro that having a future filled with happiness.

The lovely couple

Ili & Ivan

Therefore, a special wish for you. With the days filled with joy and happiness and all your dreams come true. To a very special couple,who make a perfect pair, this brings a wish for happiness. In the future you will share. May your engagement be the beginning

of a lifetime filled with special love and happiness.

Lovely wishes from all of us,

Meet my new friend:) LOL

The mother in law:) haha

The Kan's family:DD

May God always pour his love, warmth and care on both of you. Always stay in love. Congratulations on your engagement.

Love,

Responsible drinking is important.

Alcohol use is socially acceptable. In fact, drinking has become a routine part of many of our daily activities, including business luncheons, evening parties, and visiting with friends. Even occasional drunkenness is tolerated in many circles.

Therefore, being a responsible drinking is important to me because due to emotions seem to trigger drinking in many people. Sometimes, responsible drinking may relieve tension or anxiety but caution must be exercised. Alcohol as a drug can provide temporary relief from unpleasant feelings, but can also produce depression. Depression can lead to increasing use of alcohol and result in alcohol dependence, or alcoholism. It brings a lot negative effect to us if we over bused alcohol in our life. Besides, when people drink and drive, they are given a lethal

weapon to maim or kill themselves and others. While drinking is socially acceptable but driving is not. We need to save our life and the lives of others too. To make others to take the message seriously and effectively through digitally promoting alcohol responsibility since social media is important such as Facebook that provides an interactive way for consumers to test and improve their knowledge of alcohol. Raising awareness of responsible consumption can be implementing through programmes and partnerships with community stakeholders across the country. The message of the campaign is important, whatever choice is made by an individual, the key is to identify and address problem drinking before it brings harm to the drinker, to family and friends, and to the society generally.

Brought to you by..

Truly yours,

In the month of love.

Sorry for the superbly late update. Totally an overdue post. LOL! Forgive pleasee! :) Somehow, I never forget to convey my thanks and gratitude to everyone who has make the BEST month esp for my birthday in this year so far.What else can I say? I am tr

uly blessed with the peoples around me.

This year 22nd birthday was totally a blast. with all sort of su

rprises and celebration from the friends and family. Although yea, I am still single this year in celebrating my birthday but it doesn't bring me down and everyone showered me with loves.

When the clock strike at 12am on the 6th July, Joelyn was trying to entertain me as she know I was pretty moody due to birthday was on weekdays, when practically everyone is busy with work and college, besides my close friends were far away from me. Somehow, she came up with the idea of buying me cakes and bought me the angry bird gift as she know I was so crazy over angry bird.LOL!.Thank you for all the great memories...But most of all... thank you...For being you! and every lil things you did.

My Joe ma (:

On the birthday itself, Timmy has planned the celebration for me. Sing K session and club as well, as birthday fall on Wednesday and its ladies night. So yay. It was my 1st time celebrating birthday in karaoke session. Used to do that for friends and finally I've my chance of celebrating it at kBox. HAHA! Not bad. You guys been really thoughtful and kindness of making the party for me since some of you either don't know who is the birthday girl or just got to know me. I am truly appreciate it lot. Now it has strengthen our friendship.

Thanks for being a part in my life.

Myself. the birthday girl

the gang.

Rok chin. Dennis. with the FLAMING in the club.

On the 9th of July, another celebration with the YNS gang. Yea, it was a super epic day to celebrate birthday as it was our country rally for the Bersih 2.0 thingy. But the semangat-ness to party doesn't stop us at all. I went down KL on that itself and met up with the guys and kind of like experienced the situation there with the rally and all. What a good experienced seriously. Rented a suite at this place, Duta Executive Suite and the place is really spacious at a very reasonable price. It can fit more even up to 20 of us in the suite. It was k

inda disappointed too as half of my guest list couldn't make it due to the rally and the road closure. The guys claimed I "con" them to the party as ended up only the YNS gang in the party but hey, I believed we had so much of fun too.

I had a super awesome surprised from them. My best birthday gift. YEAH! IPAD 2. Although we had just known each other for like 2-3 months, somehow our friendship bond btw us are really very much stronger than anyone else. There's no way to thank-you for the thoughtfulness you guys had done for being so nice to me and makes me feel like a princess and truly blessed. I'll always remember how we met during the summit, the talks we had,the stories we shared in life, the face among faces, the smiles among smiles and the good days among us. Hope we will gather again. Wishing everyone of us have a blessed journey in life.

Yeah the happy girl :)

Someone with all the money in the world but no one to enjoy it with, would be depressed. Admittedly that's an extreme example, but the truth is that all of the enjoyable things in the world get old quickly without a friend to share them with. Here you go, my bestie Kar Ning treated me a lovely belated birthday dinner. Although you wasn't there for my birthday celebration but it doesn't a matter at all. I know you will always be there for me. The bond of our friendship is everlasting that true friends never say good-bye
There is pure truth between us that will never end.

Ms.Ho

And also my boss, with the lovely dinner toooooo. Awwwww! :) You guys are awesomeeeee:DD

Kelvin Khoo. [KK]

the birthday girl, Karen Kan. [kk] too. Our initial. HAHA

Last but not least, my family. Without them, I wouldn't be who

am I today. Every year, celebrated birthday with the family. This year special, as my aunts and cousins came down all the way from KL to Ipoh and had our dinner with all the July babies as well. Cousin sis, Rachel's birthday also happened on the same day with mine. Therefore, double celebration for us. WEEE:DDD. Had our birthday dinner at Pusing Public Restaurant, Ipoh and aunt bought our all time fav cake...OPERA cake. It's homemade by aunt's friend. WE LOVE IT so much!

My family is everything to me, they are the one always going be there for me, the people I trusted the most , who cares a lot about me. I love my family.

With love,

"The only true gift is a portion of yourself."

Love,

Karen
