Last post before I start a new chapter

Will definitely miss blogging lots, especially you guys (if you think you one of them, good for you!) :p

Tied up some loose ends these 2 days. The only thing I didn't manage to do was to visit my dearest and oldest friend in the world, Jojo. And when she sent me a parting gift the other day, I was out on an errand. THANKS JO! See you soon!

I've reduced my things to 2 suitcases. Milestone. :) Will have parents courier the rest over, if necessary, or mum will bring over if she visits next time.

I effectively reduced my whole life into 2 suitcases. But still bringing ALL my earrings! :)

Till I settle down and find time to blog again, take care you all! Won't be replying the comments in previous posts ya.

Some last pictures:



An unidentified orchid species in the church compound.



Finally collected the family portraits from the studio. Album will only be done 5OCT. Sucks.



Will miss Pheobe... Been spending lots of time with her these couple of days...



Damn sure will miss Sarawak laksa...


A bientot!

Some more...

I wear these quite often to class and to the wards. The green pair is my fav of the 2!

Food Fair

preparation, originally uploaded by sharonhappymorgue.

Spent the whole day helping mum to cook beef curry for tomorrow church food fair. 4 kilo of beef topside and 30 potatoes! No joke man! Stirring the curry in such a huge pot gave me a really good workout!

St. Peter's Church Parish Food Fair
17 SEPT. 2006
7.30AM-1.30PM

There will be about 80 stalls selling all sorts of food and goodies! All are welcome!

I got these at the Sunday Market!

Pretty huh? Got these for like RM3/- at the Satok weekend market! It's all plastic, babe! But wear it at night, can't see the plastic finishing... eheheheh...

I'll miss Kuching food the most

'chau chai hunan' & 'tian pian hu', originally uploaded by sharonhappymorgue.

Ok la this 2 food items are originally from Sibu, but they are also found wherever foochows dwell, including Kuching. :) These 2 pics were taken at Sin Poh Poh coffee shop at Ban Hock Road here in Kuching.

The chau chai hunan is obviously the dry (fried) variety, but I think the original variety is the wet (soup) one, which I actually prefer, but so happen I was eating the fried one when taking pic.

The tian pian hun is a soupy dish. Note my fav black fungus! The whitish thing is like the kueh in our kueh chap.

Both dish have the signature ingredient of kim chan, or dried lily bulbs which have a nice frangrance and sourish taste. Yummy!

I had my bowl of authentic kuching laksa this morning! Thinking of having kolo mee tomorrow! :)

My first facial

Went for my first facial today. Never ever been for one before because I didn't belive in its concept, and I'm not a fan of people poking my face. But it's something mum wanted to do together with me, so I figured okla since I'm leaving soon... some quality time with her was in order.

When the beautician saw my wretched face, she looked like she was on a mission! And she was distressed when I told her that I can't join one of her regime that she recommended because I'm leaving Tuesday. So she insisted that I come back on Sunday, no extra charge, for a follow up.

I don't exactly have acne problem, but I have terribly oily skin with yucky blackheads that look like that coalesced together!

I was embarassed because it took the beautician about an hour just to remove my blackheads! *shy* Then I had this really nice seaweed masque which was really soothing and I think I even dozed off. :)

Oh ya, before the masque, she did peeling and gave me a face massage, and some laser treatment to promote lymphatic drainage. But I was most impressed when she actually delineated my lymph vessel under my right mandible which was blocked. It even felt kinda gritty. She tracked it and massaged passed an enlarged submandibular node. It brought new meaning to lymph node palpation for me because I never palpate that hard and that deeply... so now that I know that it doesn't hurt to palpate that hard, then next time I would palpate that way la, so won't miss any enlargement.

Yay! Learnt something today.

But the head and shoulder massage was damn painful la. I'm sure I have a bruise over my shoulder blades. Will check on the mirror tonight. But I was thinking that it was me, Sharon Chin, superwoman, who's frequently accused of being a masochist, thinking that the massage was painful... and about what women would put themselves through in the name of beauty!

It was even 5 times more painful than when I was getting my tattoo!

Okla, how do I feel after the facial? Definitely more relaxed. Great therapy. Feel like a thick heavy layer was lifted off my face. Backhead density reduced. Face a little more radiant lo. Don't know la, still not very convinced with its benefits... but would go for it anytime just for relaxation... and if complexion improves, it's an extra! :) But it was a little too long... 2 and a half hours!

Cost. Package with mum... about RM150 each, then I bought a set of facial cleanser, toner, some gels... 5 bottles all together for RM155... which would last me about 2 months.

The beautician was explaining to me how to use the product, and even showing me how to use the cotton pad and the direction of application, and I must have looked a bit confused/disturbed/skeptical... so my mum suddenly told her to not mind me... and that I was very "simple".

"Aiyah, you have to explain to her properly because she never used this sort of things. She very simple one."

Then she went on and on about me not bothered to take care of my skin lo, and that I swim too much lo (the beautician gasped!), and spent too much time under the sun lo... :D

Whatever la.

And no make-up for me, she insisted. Actually happy to hear that. So now I have a reason (at least a reason, though not a good one) not to wear la without feeling that guilty for subjecting people to my unmade face. No choice mah.

And she kept on reminding me before we left, "Koolat-koolat sei bin yong he ley cleanser hah.." (direct translation: hardworking hardworking wash face with that cleaser hah)

Yes, I will try. I want to have nice skin for once. :)

Updates

These were from Angie for my graduation! Thanks Gie! She was a little disturbed before giving me the present because she realized (after we didn't see each other quite a while) that I was into BIG earrings. But in fact I wear them quite often because they are simple and elegant... and I'll be wearing them for work. :)
---

Ok. Short post. Very tired today. Did most of everything I planned yesterday except timing a bit upseted because system down in the morning at immigration. But everything settled.

Collecting tickets (mind and 3 other friends') tomorrow. Leaving 9am Tuesday. Opened Maybank account. Called KK to arrange our hostel. People were very nice even though I ended speaking like an Indonesian. :)

But I managed to go for a swim today! 20 laps. Water was freezing today. My extremities felt numb half-way the swim. Felt a little panicky. Sympathetic system.

Have to key off now. Going to visit LEON the cat again for the last time before I leave. Tomorrow visiting SUCRE the puppy.

Will visit your blogs soon! Cheers!

Mixed feelings

i'm a neat freak, originally uploaded by sharonhappymorgue.

So I received my posting letter around 11.30am. Yup Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Kota Kinabalu. Of course I'm estatic, but it just dawned on me how much I have to settle before I leave next week. I can't figure out all the forms they sent me.

My bags are kinda packed, but it's too heavy. I can just pull the bag up in one jerky motion, about a few cm off the ground. Then it falls back like a boulder. I may have to take out everything, for the 4th time, take out some and rearrange them again.

Met 2 other colleagues who got KK in the afternoon to make some arrangement. I'll be booking our seats Tuesday next week. Very happy to have some friends along.

Then tomorrow I need to renew my passport (dad said better to renew even though I don't need a passport for KK, just in case I need to travel next time), then open an account with Maybank, and close with stupid RHB, call the hospital to arrange our hostel and decide whether to send my books and other heavy things by cargo or just everything on my flight.

Decisions, decisions.

And the forms... I had to read and reread all of them just now, and I'm still a little confused. Anyways, I'll just make copies of all of them just to be safe.

So disturbed that my sis asked for my room just now. No way man. Siaw.

And the worst part part just now I was told that we don't usually get our 1st pay until after 3 months of working. That sucks.

But the up side was that we'll be getting more than I thought initially... we got clothing allowance and elaun persekutuan... :)

And I was thinking a little about the future of my blog.

Ok. Stop here. Sleepy already.

So many pairs, so little time...

nice eh? :)

ANNOUNCEMENT

ME IS GOING TO KK! :D

Blue day

Today we remember the 2973 (figure source) who lost their lives in the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre, the hijacked plane that crashed at Shanksville and the Pentagon.

5 years after the attack, I can still remember very vividly what I was doing when I heard about the attack on the World Trade Centre.

I was in my 1st year of medical studies, and was staying in campus. I was having an afternoon lecture and some of my guy colleagues asked us the girls to watch the news wherever we could find a telly as soon as possible.

Something big had happened.

I and my girlfriends rushed back to the common hall in the girls' hostel and sat in the jam-packed room to watch our local news coverage on the jumpy 21-inch telly.

The boys rushed to the study rooms in the faculty to go online to see the coverage.

It felt like watching some sci-fi war movie when I saw the 1st plane hit the tower. Goosebumps all over my body once I realized the enormity of the situation.

We continued to get updates from the boys who camped out at the study rooms (for internet connection) that night through sms.

Shock was my predominant feeling at that time... it was only during the weekend, when I got home and got to watch CNN's coverage, and when I found out about the 300 firemen who died when they rushed into the tower, that I felt like humanity was lost and unsalvageable.

Our generation will never truly recover from 9/11. Just like how the generation of the Holocaust and many generations after could never recover from that dark chapter of human history.
---

And as if Mother Nature was weeping and cursing at the senseless loss of lives, it's been a rainy and grey day here in Kuching today, with mid-afternoon lightning and thunder.

So needless to say, no swimming for me today. :(

And no letter, still, today. :(

But I do have my little blue collection to cheer me up. :)

Sucre is sweet!

2 weeks ago, a stray puppy made his way into my aunty's place at 3rd mile area, and after much deliberation, the whole family decided to adopt him. And my cousins named him Sucre, which means sugar in French! It's a really cute name, except that my uncles were complaining that it's kinda difficult to pronouce, so now Sucre's sometimes called plain Brownie. And I hope the other dogs in the neighbourhood wouldn't tease him about his very pompous-sounding name! :)


And he was playing with a football which was bigger than him last night! So absolutely adorable! I was so excited that I forgot to snap him playing! :)
---

Last night there was a pre-sale (for the coming fund-raiser next weekend) at my church... and they were selling apple pies, among other items! Heaven!



Have requested dad to order one more next weekend! :) Try it with vanilla ice-cream!
---

Absolutely surprised but delighted that Sharapova's won the women's US Open title! Getting bored of seeing Henin-Hardenne, so quite happy that beauty and brawn prevailing over wit, for once. Don't shoot me, don't shoot.

I kinda feel sorry for Sharapova who's only 19 (but already won a Wimbledon at 17) because of her popularity more for her beauty and model physique than for her talents.

So what if she's winning now because she's hitting harder than her opponents? She's a freaking teenager. She'll pick up flare and strategy-intelligence with time.

So I'm all ready for the men's singles tomorrow 4am! No surprise of the Federer-Roddick match-up.
---

To round up an absolutely (ok, used this word thrice already this post) great weekend, here's another pair of my precious from my collection. Honestly I haven't worn them because when I tried, they looked kinda dressy for my usual laidback lycra top and denim skirt/jeans.



Have a great Sunday!

Breakfast

I'm so lucky to be born in this lifetime. A lifetime when I can just wake up in the morning and drive to the nearest coffee shop for my favourite siow bee with black fungus.

A most delicate delicacy! Had been having these for ages, but never had I given it much thought!

Just found out online that the black fungus is locally known as kuping tikus and cendawan telinga kera. Also I just found out that siow bee is siu mai. I'll use siow bee eventhough when you google it you get "0" results, unlike siu mai where you get results in hundreds it's probably called that only in Kuching. Because it's my blog. :)

2 days

So tempted to curse and swear rant, but heck, I've lost the steam already, so I'm just going to summarize what happened the last 2 days:

I couldn't open my Yahoo! mail, couldn't log on to Blogger (beta) and my Streamyx broadband connection was unstable. So silly me made the amateur mistake of not copy and paste my text before posting comments and saving my posts! :( Dida and Davi did this question thingy which I found interesting and which I answered all 11 freaking questions, and the whole page just went offline on me, and hence my almost one-hour worth of post was lost, forever... couldn't even recover the post. :(

No chance of me redoing the questions.

The worst part was that I could have prevented it.

And I have been crying and sobbing periodically over the last 2 days because of the reruns of Steve Irwin's shows! I'm not sure why but I'm so affected by his untimely death. I was crying and crying watching especially the segments on his children and all his conservation programmes... and even the segment on his late doggie, Sui. It's like something really blunt piercing my heart through and through.

I really can't believe that he's dead. It's just so not right.

The last time I cried like this was 5 months back when the vet told us that my very blind 16-year-old mongrel, Stryker, was dying of heart failure. I never prayed so hard in my life. Stryker was coughing really badly... and for a couple of weeks he seemed to be going downhill... but guess what? Today, 5 months later, his cough is gone, and he's still eating well, and very happy I must add. But I know I must prepare myself for the innevitable, his heart may decompensate anytime.

---

On a lighter note, news from a colleague who called the Health Ministry again, enquiring about our posting... they sent out our letters on Thursday (yesterday la) which means we should we getting them soon. And now they're saying we start on the 18th of this month.

If that's true, my destiny is sealed in an envelope somewhere, together with thousands and thousands of other letters.

But until I see the little bugger, I'm not buying the news.

---

Yesterday I had a craving for Foochow food. So I had "tian pian hu" for breakfast, and then I went to the 20% Discount Store at Jalan Keretapi (because Adeline told me there's a small shop inside that sells "kompiah"!) and bought 1 packet of 5 pieces of baby "kompiah" with sesame seeds, and another packet of 4 pieces of big plain "kompiah".

There's only one left in the fridge now. The other seven pieces, erm, I ate them all myself! *shy* Had them for lunch yesterday and breakfast this morning! :) So happy!

---

Been sleeping 3/4am for the last week or so watching the US Open. The biggest news so far is that Nadal is out! Because he's the only one with the real potential to defeat Federer in the final, so that's why it's news. :)

Larry King asked Andre Agassi who he thought would win the 2006 US Open.

"Umm... that would be Federer, or the guy who beats him. " :)

I watched the Federer-Blake match this morning which of course Federer cruised through. So disgusted with the american crowd/audience in centre court! Cheering when Federer double-faulted or netting the ball??? I know la Blake's from NY... but please show some class ok? Tennis' a classy sport! Gentlemen's sport, remember???

---



So to cheer myself up, also cheer you guys up, here's another pair of earrings from my collection! This is a delicate pair, and I usually have to tie my hair up to wear them because it's black (cannot see with hair down) and it's so light and can easily get tangled with my hair.

Ok people, thanks for bearing with me! Watch out for the women's semifinal matches tonight! Good night!

Presenting Leon!

Finally got to visit the newest member of my extended family, Leon, a 6-month-old scottish fold, who came toilet-trained and highly sociable! In fact he was sooo fearless that I was rather worried playing with him just now, flying around very near my face. Gave me a few scratches and teethmarks on my hands. Size apparently did not matter to him. And he wasted no time and started roughing up my Mr. Moose. Mum asked me to give Mr. Moose to him. No way man.




The peculiar thing about scottish folds are, of course, duh, their folded ears! Very cute eh? It gives them the owl-ish look.

Oh ya, check out my earrings today! I felt like I colour-coordinated with Leon. :)



Before that I met up with Adeline and former uni-mate, Colina. We had dinner at this very nice "health" restaurant, "Aha!"... I had dory fish, which was nice except I didn't fancy the sauce too much, and I had papaya smoothie... that I liked very much! Would go there again to try their other dishes...



Not the nicest picture I have of myself... but I think can see my hair colour quite well... so this is for Jemima! This is taken with Parasite, the stray that comes over for her meals everyday. :)

Good night!

A Loooooong Post on My Hair & Earrings

I went for a hair trim today, but it didn't turn out as subtle as I had hoped for... I was very disturbed to see soooo much hair under my chair! I specifically told my regular hair stylist that I wanted to maintain the length, but layer all he want... so I guess that's what he did... he layered and layered and layered and layered! But it turned out kinda short, and I can't actually tie up my hair anymore... and I can't toss my hair left and right with that nice weight it used to have (my way of feeling feminine). I couldn't bear looking at myself for the whole afternoon at home... it was later after dinner time that I sat down in my room and thought I was better off without those split and dry ends... and I felt better after that. :)


So that's my new hair (soooo short!!! wahhhh!!!! but still have to fake a smile...), and my newest and current favourite pair of earrings! :) Sorry Jemima, forgot to take photo of hair under natural light when I went out this morning. I'll try tomorrow!



Ok, so since I'm soooo disgustingly free, I want to share some of my earrings, I'm sure to the delight of my blogging galpals (Davi, Bren and Dida)! Ok, yes, I have my own display unit... got it for only RM35/-... will probably need a bigger one soon. :) I'll be showcasing some of my favourites...



Oh, this is not one of my favorites but Davi wanted to see my feather earrings if I remember correctly... I still like her curved ones better, but I like my green colour! So vibrant! :)



I have been wearing these a lot because they sooo go with my usual white lycra top and denim skirt... my mum described my whole outfit as "sedaging" with me! :)



These I wear when I'm wearing more casual baby tees, because they are not terribly big, about 50sen coin size... but what attracted me most to this simple pair are the 4 tiny coloured rings.



I hate gold jewelry, but these are cute! Looks like christmas tree ornament but they are lovely with plain black top and jeans! So classy! They are my only gold pair though.



These were a must when I first spotted them in town! If you can't guess why by now, you don't know me very well! :)



These I love because they are loud and bold, but feminine, and plain enough to go with any colour tops!



These were expensive the first time I saw them in Crown Towers, so I didn't buy them... then several months later when I was there again, they were suddenly on offer... I think only RM20++! We were meant to be together!



These I got in Sibu! There were several colours but I chose this one because Christina gave me a bandana with similar colours, so I was wearing the bandana that day when I spotted these... so of course I had to get them! I put them on at the shop itself. :) I soooo looked like tourist the whole day after! :)



These are plastic but they have that seashell look which I love!



These are the cutest earrings I own! Never wore them, but just had to get them because they were furry! :)



Ok, this is not earring... but just wanted to share it with you guys because it brought back memories from school! :) This was the first ever gift I ever received from a guy... I think back in Form 1... :) Why funny?

1. I told mum that one of my classmates gave it to me (but I won't reveal whose name I used! hehe) I also dunno why I was afraid that my parents would find out that a guy gave it to me... ??? I don't think my parents would have flipped or anything... ???
2. This guy ah... we never spoke to each other that time... we just kept on eyeing and smiling with each other... I was in afternoon session, and he was having tuition at Parish Tuition Centre, so he walked through the school compound everytime he went for his tuition classes... so I purposely made toilet trips around the time he usually walked through the school! :)
3. He's shorter than me! (okla, this not funny.)
4. He gave it to me in a harmonica box with stuffed with cotton wool, so I had to removed the tangled cotton wool from the bracelet!
5. I made him a "friendship band"... with his name... took so much effort and time and hiding (away from parents at home!) ehehehe...
6. One time I asked him to write in my autograph book... so he wrote something nice... and I continued to look at his page many years after that!
7. We still kinda keeping in touch! So I hope he doesn't read my blog! Muahahah!

But I did like him very much because he was so cool and composed... :)

Ok, that's enough for today... OMG, it's already 12.50am... better get back to my US Open!

Waiting, waiting, waiting...

Spent the whole day waiting for the damn letter downloading blog templates in the hope of revamping my blog... but in the end I just felt that I liked the plain background after all. But I may have just overdosed on the pictures placed systemically all over the blog. If anyone feels nauseous or light-headed, let me know of the side effects immediately. Thanks.

No letter today. :( I was tempted to write a letter to KKM just now to complain about their incompetency, but thought against it because I realized that I haven't exactly "secured" a job, so I won't want to jeopardize anything... but I have a long memory... one of these days when I have the means and the opportunity, I will not hold anything back.

The disheartening thing yesterday was I heard from a friend who's already been working in QE Hospital in KK for about a month about the living arrangement there. I asked her about the HO quarters there, in the hope of getting a "mental picture" of the place (don't worry, she's an old friend from college, so she knows my quirks)...

She replied by saying the place was "...not very nice... I don't think you would want to stay there... it's not only the quarters, it's the surrounding as well..."

So my friend has already rented an apartment with 2 other colleagues...

Seriously I don't mind a run down place as long as it's safe and clean. It's the convenience that I want. I imagine all those oncalls and also those long days... it beats driving after work, getting stuck in the traffic... at least for my 1st year I really hope to stay within the vicinity of the hospital.

Eventually I would want to get my own place.

Instead of asking her more about what she meant about "not very nice" and whether it was safe and all the questions I would usually ask, I just replied that though it's disheartening to hear it, I would wait for my letter and get back to her.

It's disheartening to hear, but I know I can handle that... one year no problem... if it's totally unacceptable, I'll just try to get a place nearby. Not a problem at all. I still want to go to KK.

I just need to focus on the big picture... Sabah... independence, beautiful beaches and islands, scuba diving, lots and lots of outdoor activities!

That's in fast forward mode. Now back to the present... no letter.

Ok, better stop ranting here. Good night.

What a way to go...

I cannot believe Steve Irwin is dead! The invincible crocodile hunter himself was reported to have succumbed to "stingray strike to the chest".

See this news report.

My whole family was shocked and even feeling a little sad... mum was feeling sorry for his family. He left behind his wife, an 8-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son.

But what a way to die, really... doing what he loved the most! May he rest in peace.

Was hoping that he would live very, very long and continue to make documentaries for my children!

Mundanity

Was feeling a little uninspired these couple of days until I accidentally watched our badminton players in action in the Hong Kong Open semifinals Friday night. And I was watching the finals yesterday. A bit bummed that Lee Chong Wei and our doubles pair didn't claim the titles, but they played superb badminton! I was even feeling patriotic!

Who say need big, big, traffic jam-causing celebrations in the city to celebrate being Malaysian to feel patriotic?
---

Bummed also that MY Marcos Baghdatis went down to Andre Agassi in the 2006 US Open 2nd round! How unbelievable! The New York crowd was backing Agassi 100% that night, and was not expecting anything less than a victory from the veteran, who happens to be playing in his last tournament before retirement. It's about time. Nothing against Agassi but I'm soooo upset that Baghdatis' not in the running anymore! So I've decided, for the next 1 and half weeks at least, I'll be supporting and flying red and white for Roger Federer.
---

These 2 tournaments didn't cross path with me for no reason. Here's the situation:

• There were a couple of bad line calls in the Hong Kong Open... players unhappy, officials fought, and linesmen replaced...
• HawkEye, an instant replay device, is used for the first time in a Grand Slam, so this year's US Open. Players can challenge the linesmen and the unpire for a line call twice each set... so if the player turns out right, then they still keep 2 challenges... but if the player is wrong, minus one challenge. Get it?
• But watching both the tournaments I notced something... sometimes the bad calls are witnessed by the opponents... BUT why didn't the opponents say something? Where's the sportsmanship? I mean I've witnessed a few notable atheletes who would give the point to his opponent if he sees that the call against his opponent was wrong. But there are too few.

I've not played competitive tennis for 4 years now, but I was appalled by the lack of spirit of sports competition among the professionals!

And don't get me started with the recent World Cup.

---

Yesterday I discovered that Blogger came up with Blogger (beta)... so I converted because it's easier to use and manage my posts. So I made some subtle changes, but still keeping the template I'm using... not the time for a complete make-over just yet... liking the white background.

I was thinking all having a morgue theme for my blog, but I just can't do it, because I'm not morbid after. :) Now feeling kinda lame with the "coroner" and "scalpels & blades"... but I'll just let it be for a while. Maybe it will grow on me.
---

I'm almost finished packing. Seriously I can't wait to leave home for a while, and see new things and live on my own.

My mum decided to buy the new suitcase for me after all because of the mega sales. Got one, about RM250 after discount, but BIG (size 30)... and I'm happy to note that I think I can just manage ALL my clothes into that ONE suitcase, so very, very happy. :)

Now just have to wait for that letter tomorrow. Savante was asking me where I was going. I'll know by tommorrow or at least Tuesday or Wednesday the latest.
---

I had my hair coloured yesterday! Red something the colour... but my hair looks healthier now because it's darker than my own dull dark brown, that got systematically bleached by my swimming for the past 2 months or so. Now it has that nice shimmering reds under the light. :)
---

Ok, sorry for mundane posts. I think I've been sleeping too much. I usually am inspired by the little, little things around me, but like I said, this excessive holiday is making me stupid and dulling all my senses.

Pray that the postman brings me what I want tomorrow or I'll set the dog on him the next time around!

Cheers!
