Ethan’s Corner

Lame as it sounds, I have to be reminded by someone else again to write my very own blog. This time got reminded by Alva, I guess that my time really owned me till I kind of lost track with my blog nowadays Well, glad that I have some breathing time here to write up, and I think it will be tough to sum up for November and half of the December
…

Throughout November, I can’t really recall much of the happenings. Job wise, I have taken pretty much a turnaround again. From one place to another, kind of tiring to move around a lot but definitely a worthy learning experience to see the outside world. And recently, I managed to find a spot for me to sit still and learn new things yet again in familiar environment. Heard quite a number of advices and stories throughout the time, it will be useful for me to measure my path in the coming days.
…

Social times, quite packed though. Started off with family (which I am really glad it is ) as I went back home to celebrate my mom’s birthday. It’s an effort from my big brother to get us together for a family dinner. Went to eat at Asam House in Greentown, food was quite ok with the variety limits towards their shop name itself
…

And after the dinner, I had a long bus ride all the way to Johor! Reason, to attend my buddy Eric’s wedding with Pui Ling I reached there very early morning, thus automatically become Eric’s “brother” to fetch his bride which is quite fun too. His wedding treat is a luncheon at Pulai Spring Resort, a golf resort. And probably the great moments for me was a reunion with some of my university mates. Have to highlight their name here: YunLeng, Elmen, AhMing, Alicia, Adel, LimWei, Rachel, XiaoXue, Neo, Hannee (hopefully I didn’t miss out anyone else). And of course, Eric and Pui Ling
…

After the wedding, I have the privilege to be fetched by the newly weds couple back to their place and hang out awhile waiting for my bus ride return. Had some fun also playing with Wii before I take my bus. Although I only managed to catch a few moments to chat with Eric, at least I managed to do so And also, his family welcomed me very well in their place, thank you all! Last but not least, congratulations and many happy days for Eric and Pui Ling
…

After the long journey of Johor trip, I took yet another holiday off, this time with my gal Callista to KL. The trip was made much easier with her sister’s help Pamela and Jerry fetching us to our accommodation place which we have no idea where it is Total places that we went weren’t that much though, can count it here: Mid Valley, Times Square, Sungai Wang, 1U. And surprisingly Callista mentioned that this is the first time she went shopping so disappointingly (a shirt and a pair of shoes is considered a fail for her ) well, for myself, I also got a pair of shoes too but I think it’s quite interesting though, especially our visit to selected places Time Machine, XL Shop, Graffiti Toys, and also Gamers Arena by accident (if you have no idea bout these places, learn their name and you will guess it ) And indirectly it trigger our hobby to collect even more things in near future. Very scary
…

Back to Penang again, I am wondering what is awaiting next. Expecting yet another wedding dinner in Ipoh on Christmas day itself for AhShu, and this time will be adding in Ipoh day tour together with Callista And I am expecting also to join post Christmas celebration at Alva’s place together with other colleagues (and ex-colleagues too ). What else, oh ya, the office Christmas exchange gift Hopefully the year will end much more enlighten after such a tiring year…
…

Alright, I guess this one should conclude my post here. I sure hope I can take up more initiative to write my next post on my own reminder (which I think I will fail) Thanks for the time spent here

Yup, I really forgotten that I didn’t touch this blog for the month of October. Surprising I guess, I thought I won’t miss my blog every single month. And here I missed it on a very important month to me…
…

To amend it, I am updating it now early in November (not so early too I guess). Quite some happenings occurred during October, probably that’s why I am driven away from the blog itself. And as some of you already much aware of it, I am now attached in a relationship with my girlfriend, her name is Callista (can’t believe I wanted to say this out here )

…

Let’s start off with something harsh first, my work. It’s true that got colleagues and even bosses reading this, probably that’s why I can tell here how challenging my job life is Well, mentioning bout harsh, actually I am quite busy, can consider one of those few in office who are very busy with more and more additional workload. Expectations from boss(es) are quite high, and probably I am quite tensed up is because I am in the middle of nowhere doing everything until my own job is not finished. And now, more pending work and me running around. Sigh…

…

Skipping work, to social. Recently not much events or outings organized by people around. The frequent happenings during October was just birthday celebration, particularly my own one Honestly this year I had special celebrations (yes, there are 2 very special celebration). One which is a b’fast with colleagues and “big pao” as my b’day cake while the other one was with none other than Callista (many things happened, and too special to tell here )

…

November is already in, and feels like it’s everyone’s tough time here. I guess most people are looking forward to see December instead Not much to say for here now. Guess I’ll just put it as it is for now. Hope I can write more next time.

…

Take care everyone, and also thanks for all the nice wishes to me

Obviously quite an odd day to blog here. It’s a Monday night, and I don’t have specific people to remind me anymore (apart from Julius’s earlier comment). Looks like I am losing readers, good or bad sign?
…

Nevertheless, it’s just how I wanna write it without any worries. But probably won’t be that happening as the previous post, and things are well starting to cool off towards end of the month. I guess everyone’s wallet is starting to cool off especially after the holidays and all awaiting salary…
…

Raya holiday was quite a long break time for me and everyone else (except those very extreme to do OTs), with myself have additional 2 days off due to the replacement holidays. Once again, I went to a reunion with some of my hometown friends back in Ipoh (and farewell again to K2 for 2nd and 3rd time!). We do have a large group meetup, and went for drink “snow beer” (I think this drink only famous in Ipoh, not sure bout other places). Surprising though that I noticed this batch of friends are just so-so in drinking, instead got a girlfriend of my buddy is better in drinking than himself! (yes, I am referring to you Chim ).

…

Coming back to Penang, all the happy holiday mood lost back in Ipoh. Perhaps work is really one very annoying thing that must deal with, that’s why we got paid for. In fact, I had a bad day yet again on last Friday (yup, another big !@#$% with my big boss, 2nd time already in this year) which ended up me just spoiling my reputation more in the company. Well, just got to live with it. Worse come worse, we call for a change as I am still can afford to do so at this time (not so sure for the coming years though).

…

What’s coming up next? Not that I can recall as for now. Feels tired, but can’t sleep (again, unknown virus that cause me such sleeping disorder). Lucky to be able to enjoy good music every night (feels like partying every late night with such “in” songs ) Looks like another month elapsed again like that, how scary the time ticks away. And I wonder why weekdays are so hard to pass by…

…

A pause for now, take care then~

Initially I planned to post this last weekend because that’s the time that I am free, but turns out I too lazy and tired to write one, so end up today only wrote one cause got hit by reminder which this time by Sinyi. Everytime she ask me like as though I have to pass up work. But never mind, I got the feeling
…

What a blast! I had a few good weekends recently, particullarly the Genting trip with my ex-schoolmates. Despite I had to take bus/train ride for most of the trip, it was quite interesting to travel that way. Lots of good times together with my friends, among them are photo taking session, play at arcade centre, tea time, casino gambling (me end up quite lucky ), buffet dinner (quite variety of choices, very nice + expensive one ), internal drinking session (I didn’t join though, will tell you why shortly here), and whole night supper tea time at Old Town! A very satisfying trip together with them, you guys are awesome!
…

Also, this trip got a slight twist for me, because I also get to attend another gathering reunion, which was my ex-coursemates. Despite there were 7 of them (as oppose to 19 ex-classmates), it was quite nice that I can join them for a drink also late night (also at Old Town! ). Good that we can get together because I kind of not so close with my ex-coursemates last time, thus it is a good chance for me to catch up back. Look forward to our next reunion again with better attendance
…

Then, a back to back gathering reunion, the following week is a reunion with my Kung Fu Club members (mostly are my seniors and my own batch). Initially I was kind of doubtful to join because of the continuous trip, but hell, I don’t have much of a choice also because Elmen also going Our location was Tony Romas in Mid Valley Megamall (Keen Mun spread the news of the location as Roma Thomas?! ). A dinner together was quite memorable, lots of talking and eating throughout the dinner. Just that it is yet another rush trip for me and Elmen as we both took the train ride in morning and leave KL at night itself. Eventually, it is still a worthful trip. So when’s the juniors turn?
…

Back here in Penang, or I should say back to reality Back to work as usual, and last weekend was spent purely for rest and some visiting to MDL. Coming weekends, will have another gathering which is K2’s farewell (he’s going to Scotland to further his study) or it will be a KL trip to follow my parents to visit my brother. What a great time for the past few weeks despite all the expenses that I didn’t count (and I don’t plan to count). Surely will be nice to have it go all the way long, providing I have the time, energy, and money
…

Will try to get some sleep now as since back from Genting, I can’t sleep well and enough. Must be the “yumcha” that caused me to have insomnia nowadays, just hope that I don’t fall sick. Rest well to you too~

How nice it is to start here this time, I am writting this without reminders! Probably I am in the right mood at this point here…
…

Approximately 2 weeks from my previous post, coming into the mid of August and it is quite fun for me. Probably this month is much more alive to me compared to others. Reasonable also not to happen every month as there’s always the balance throughout the year, can’t be that demanding.
…

From where I stopped on the previous post, the first thing happened was the birthday celebration for Alva and Beng Hooi (Alva’s was on her eve b’day, while Beng Hooi’s was the day after). Celebration took place at e-Gate Starbucks, with particpants myself, Alice, Sai Yik, Darek, and Eugene (plus Jetfire and Optimus Prime too ). Both of them got T-shirts as b’day present (Beng Hooi’s gift is kind of a joke though). Quite a nice outing after not meeting everyone quite awhile in such gathering. And the one funny thing that I think only Darek and Beng Hooi knows is, we meet Dillon (again!!!)
…

Second thing that happened was an outing with Alva. This incident happened to be quite funny plus long story. To sum up, Saturday time, Alva find me go out to eat lunch and window shopping, plus she even fetch me! Then only found out that her neighbours are doing some heavy renovation (now I know why ). Lunch was normal coffee shop, and we walked around Prangin Mall awhile. Go shopping there is quite risky though especially Laconic because I used to spend a lot there. We almost bought something there, lucky that both of us didn’t buying anything in the end (but we still considering to buy )

…

At the same day night time, my turn to fetch Alva that was promised way earlier. It was actually to attend a dinner together treated by our company boss for our effort to do work proposal stuffs. Location was e-Gate Tao Restaurant, and all I can recall whole night was eating non stop till the end, especially that I don’t get to pick my food because everyone just keep feeding it to my plate We arrived slightly earlier and went to Tesco because I need to do shopping to find a larger plastic container to store my stuffs (which are toys  )

…

Third thing that came along was a movie together with Alva, Darek, Beng Hooi and his GF (dunno her name). Me and Alva went to ate dinner after work before watch while the rest all not working (or off work at 1pm -_-||| ). We watched GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra and it was quite fun to watch this movie as it was full of action and nice humor too. Can say it’s an entertaining movie Only the spoil of the night was when I got back home, no electricity…

…

Really is quite long already, I can say that I am glad not to pile it up till end of the month. The much anticipating trip that have been talked for months, now I am just days away for it. Look forward to meet up with all my friends everywhere and hopefully this will be a fun and memorable one as I guess it will be years again before we all meet again and gather around. Or is it because I am too lonely already? Sigh, me such a loser to say that
…

And I hope there will be more outings in the coming days also (although I wonder how realistic that chance will be ). Well, that will be all for this round. Bye for now! ~
