...PATRESA - street ...

*** This is a long entry !.

I did not make much resolutions during the beginning of the year 2010. All I wish for is being responsible for all my roles that I'm playing. I still remember vividly, I will do my best as a Mother to Lucas, as a wife to Patrick, as a daughter to mummy, as a sister to both my sisters, as a daughter-in-law to my parents-in-law, as a sister-in-law to my sisters-in-law,as an employee to my employer and as for friend, whoever will be my long lasting friends in life will always stay with me, will always be my side and deep in my heart even though I would probably unable to spend much time with.
I wouldn't say,I've achieve 100% satisfaction from all party, I made lots of mistake over the time frame of 12 months in 2010. I'm not perfect and I did not play my roles perfectly, but at least for sure I've tried my very best effort. =). My sincere apology for my unstable emotions whenever things happened unexpectedly and I'm working forward to improve & controlling my own emotions.

I had a bad starts of year 2010, or should I say, I had a bad ending in year 2009 X'mas?!. Lol...Those moments I wish not to recall. It's hurtful. And I'm glad it's over and glad I was able to overcome the obstacles with all the support from my husband and lovely true friends around. Thank you!!!
It definitely took me a period of time to recover from all the hurtful events. I was down, was depressed, was unable to focus, and could not move on. And yes, I was struggling pretty hard. I made a decision, to resign from my job and take a month break to stay at home without getting myself a new job for backup. For that period of 1 month, I stayed closely with husband, and I'm truly glad to have him to support me emotionally without fail.

Coming to 2nd Quarter of the year, we moved in to our new home. Our lives and all the beautiful things we are having now begin. Our big thanks to in-law. =). We were builing our little hub, decorating our lovely place, and living in our little comfort home. I got myself a brand new job right after our 1st year anniversary in Sabah. Thank you, Edward. I started my job in the middle of May,2010. The job nature is totally something NEW to me. However, thanks god once again, I'm able to pass my probation period. It was definitely tough to me for the first 3 months!!!. And I made lotsssssssss of mistakes as I totally have NO IDEA on how BUSINESS works! Thank you boss for all the opportunity given and all the trust given to me. I'm getting back all the confidence and self esteem from this job. =).

3rd Quarter of the year, I was feeling satisfied!. I thought, I've everything a person should have. Yes, I got EVERYTHING and I'm very satisfy, and I'm not asking for more. I'm just wishing to remain my happy moment as this. FAMILY, CAREER & HEALTH. =). I realized that I've so much to learn, so many ppl I should meet and so many things for me to do in this tiny little world. Oh yea, not to forget, I started my new hobby, GOLF!. With this hobby, I have expand my network and building a better relationship with my colleagues and customers.. Thanks hubby again for introducing me this hobby. It was fun and helping a lot in my career. =)

4th Quarter of the year, hubby started a new family planning. Ooops, definitely not to have another kid at this moment. =). It's building our financial stronger!. Yes, hubby comes out with a plan to force our monthly savings. And we have to survive only with 30% of our Income every month starting in December. Therefore, beginning of this quarter, we bought our wishlist before DEC comes. LOL.... I had an Iphone 4, while hubby had his CANON EOS 60D. I hope it's not too much to ask for, as we have been living moderately for the past 2 years. =P hehehe !. It's a sweeetest quarter too, hubby gave me a BIG surprise for our monthiversary, "hang fuk ji wen" RING !. =)

In 2010, I had visited church from time to time, to rest my mind, to understand life, and to talk to him. I believe, he heard me!. Thanks god for shining above me, and giving me all the greatest thing in this world. Thank you.

If you are reading this, Merry X'mas & Happy New Year from PATRESA !.

"You can’t drive forward on the road of life
if you’re looking in the rear view mirror."
Let's look forward for a better tomorrow. =)

Ops, did not manage to jot down anything before the season ends. =). Probably, time is moving on too fast and I'm still lagging behind to catch the second. I've begin the season with attending Nicole & Casper's wedding. Both wedding fall on 3rd October 2010.I attended Nicole's in the morning session at Teluk Intan, then drive up to Penang to attend Casper's. Congratulations to the newly wed! ... May your new stage of life be filled with all the happiness and loves. =)... My all time advised to couple is, always holding hand FIRMLY to go through every moment of life together, and everything will be alright! =) . Patresa would probably not be the best couple to give any advise, however, after gone through all the hiccups of life, patresa truely belief, holding hand firmly in any occasion is the best way to deal with obstacles. I'm really glad and happy seeing both gals are marrying with smiling face.
Although, it was real tired to me but I definitely had an enjoyable moment at both wedding ceremonies. I'm sincerely happy for you gals ~~~~... Welcome to the next stage of life, gals! =)

Next up, I've had a few outings with my sisters..... Manicure, pedicure, facial, shoppping, chatting & gossiping were just so much fun ! My resolution for next year is to spend more time with my family and have more sharing with them. Afterall, family is the most trustable person in our life. At least, they are the person who keep supporting us through harsh time. =)

Career. Achieve the challenge on this season! . Superb happy...Thanks god for always shining above me. I'll work harder for the coming seasons. =)

ciaozzz....-teresa chin-

Life on season eight was pretty good. Most of the things went smoothly. We started to enjoy our life as much as possible. Our life seems to be good, and that was probably because we are satisfy with who we are at this moment. We thought we have almost everything that a person should have. Nothing too extreme, and nothing too less

Family bonding is stronger, probably because little lucas has brought lot of smiles and laughter to everyone as he is growing up and learning up. We are all counting down to his one year old birthday. =)

Myself and patrick relationship is much more stable nowadays, and we thought probably because we have no more disturbance from 3rd party. We enjoy our lives with no rumours and gossips. I felt a peace of mind for the past six months. I sincerely praying for our relationship will grow stronger as we are heading to the same direction. Oh yea, I started picking up golf !. I enjoy the game and it was fun. Everytime when i hit the ball and it flying up high and far, I felt a sense of satisfaction. =) .

Career. For the first time, I felt so happy every morning when I have to work! I did not laze on the bed when the alarm is ringing! ...But, I woke up even before the alarm ring to get ready for work! I really enjoy the time putting on the dress, the makeup, the hair wax, the accessories, and the high heels before I leave home for work. I enjoy being a corporate lady, the business-style young lady... =P. Arrive in office and started my work with Quotation, presentation slides, setting appoinments, before I leave office for meetings. And every morning, my mind hoping to have "new fax message" in my inbox, as that indicate a new PO. =P

Pat's career is doing pretty good as well. Pat has been working in the current company for more than a year plus. He as well enjoys his work very much on meeting with the companys' higher management. Able to mix around with those people was his real pleasure to learn from this kind of people. =)

Overall, we are happy with our current life and we truly hopes this happiness will never ends.

Due to the busy life, I have very limited time to update this space. However, I will jot down a little on every season. This is for myself to keep track on the things happened on patresa's life. =)

Stress is the first word from everyone when we refer to the title above. But not to me... I would say I love and enjoy life in the fast lane. Not sure if I'm still fresh in this industry. Love being a corporate lady, a young one ....a young corporate lady, meeting up with all kind of people from different walk of life. Enjoy and enthusiastic to know the business nature of each industry. Eager to know each company work flow and the way they handle obstacle. As a solution provider, I felt a sense of respect from my client. They are keen and they are impressed with the products.

I love being recognized as a young and capable lady in the meeting room who is able to deliver the presentation and to do the negotiation. I got all the hype whenever I closed the deal. *** The purchase ordered received. ;)

Although, I could not complete the project smoothly with no errors/issues. However, I enjoy the moment to tackle each problems, to solve each of it. The sense of accomplishment, and achievement.

At this hour, I'm still staying out waiting for client to arrive. To solve his issues. My heart hoping that I'm home, laying on the comfortable couch with my beloved husband. I wish..... But, I can't. I've to stay positive and wish things gonna turn out to be a good one! ...

Joke of the day: Meeting clients mean generatingggggggggg $$$$$$$..... wuakakakak...

-Patresa- will be meeting the precious over the weekend ! .... Bought little luc a new food.... !!! ... ;)

Enjoy the weekend, people ! ...

Stay tune in patresa-street!

The subject tell it all .... For some reasons, I hate and dislike JULY 2010.
It's ending soon. I wish the coming season, Season Seven in the month of August will be a great month! I'm seeing good stuffs are coming in next season ....... =)

-teresa-

I encountered with an accident the other day.I was halfway changing to another lane, and a motorbike was so fast coming from behind, and unbreakable, "BOM"! ... Once I stepped out from the car, I saw an old man lying on the road with his broken motorbike. On that moment on, I was telling myself to stop figuring whose fault in that accident but trying my best to help as much, as I was not hurt at all in the whole accident.. I was keeping the 90-10 principles by stephen covey in my mind. (10% of life is made up of what happens to you, 90% of life is decided by how you react.) I did not call for any helps as I do not want to complicate the whole situation, and I decided to take a day off to bring this old man for a full body check up, however, he rejected my offer...I understand if I were to bring this case to police, the old man will get the summon as he was banging my car from behind. And most of the people suggested me to do a police report. I did not, because he is an old man, ..... an old man driving a Motorbike.... an old man driving a Motorbike to Work, to earn for a living ... No matter how he throw his frustration and anger to me, during the accident, I keep myself soft and calm... And I promised him to pay back the damage. The next day, I supposed to pay him back RM200. We met at my office. He put a smile on his face when he saw me. Not because of the money, i believe. The first word from his mouth is "Sorry for throwing his anger to me". I was glad, not because of his "Sorry", but because he looks good and fine. =). He returned RM50 to me, as the repaired for the motorbike is RM150. I said, keep the money and go for body checkup, to ensure he is OK. But, the old man said, he did the check up at govt hosp and that doesn't cost him much. =) ... At the end of the story is, the old man and I is happy. We put a smile on our face. And I got a new friend now. Will be dating him for lunch next week!. That is how, the 90% of life is made of. We can't control the 10% of life where accident happened. Let's imagine another way round, where I'm being harsh to him as well. Things gonna turn out to be different as well especially when both party is in different races. We blame each other for the races to build such a person and cursing over each other. That's gonna turn out to be very sad! ...

Oh ok, some would probably say the whole story is to praise myself for being a good person. No no no no .... I do admit,I'm a pretty harsh lady. I could be very mean in a way when someone is acting over my limit. In chinese, we call it "Stepped on my pony tail". =P ...I'm sorry, I could not forget all the bad vibes doings in my life, to destroy and to hurt my family. I'm not a forgiveful person at all in this situation, because I will not give another chance. I'm really glad for all the bad things happened, as I am now have a little peace in mind. =)

Afterall, whatever you do, or you decided to do, just remember to create peace in your own life. . -teresachin-

I guess, I had gone through a pretty good and interesting life during my childhood and teenager life. I was lucky enough to enjoy my childhood as much as others, as I was not stress with study. I was allowed to play all the games and watch all the program that I like. I remembered my first roller plate, my eldest sis bought it for me. Computer games like aladin, prince of persia, mario, tetris, and etc. I was quite well equipt with almost everything.
Teenage life was fantastic! My first handphone was Nokia 8850 and I was 16 years old and my very first puppy love was fall on the valentines day. I was not sure what is love is all about. Probably, it was the special chemistry that bond 2 persons together, and whenever you see each other, the heart beat increase... That might explain. 16 years old was my most memorable year, because i've enjoy my life to the max. My first try to night life. My first make up! Sms and phone chatting whole night long. spending some money for grooming - hairdos, facial and etc. A year that I will never forget, 2001...No commitment, no worries, no burden, and all I have to do was to enjoy life.
Coming along to the 2nd stage of teenage life was during my uni life. Stress with studies, family problems arise, had pretty bad experience in love life. But, at times, I do enjoy the whole process of it. Tackling one subject to another, one semester to another semester, changing from one person to another person, I've learnt so much. That's the true learning path I've been to. Building me to be a better person, learning from mistake, and life still goes on pretty goood. From a dependent young naive little girl to an independent smart little lady.
Life changes the most when I entered adulthood. Commitment, burden and worries, all comes together. Obstacle after obstacle for me to tackle and to solve. I was not ready to enter this stage of life. I was unprepare at all, therefore, the feeling of uncertainties, unsecure, had made me emotionally and physically weak. I was just so weak, and yet the bad vibes was trying to destroy my life even harder. Lucky enough and thanks god, I went through that moment with courage. Thanks to the persons who were by my side. With your encouragement, I'm able to be the person I am today. =) ... Living the life of an adulthood and in the stage of parenthood, is never ever easy. I would probably say, this is the hardest path to me so far. From a always happy-go-lucky gal, follow the flow and never have the plan in life, I've change to a person with rules and regulations, a person with plan for the future in life, a person who care about lifestyle...

I ain't sure, what will be the next stage. However, I wish my beloved family and friends will always be happy and healthy.

A little thought on 8th July, 1130pm. By Teresa Chin.

I came across another article again, on the subject - forgive and forget. And I thought, I would very much agree to the writer. The source is from psychology today...

The Content of the first paragraph as per below :-

Many people believe that forgiveness is necessary if we are to put the past behind us and move on. Twelve-step programs teach the philosophy that we should forgive others because they, like us, were doing the best they could at the time. Many religions teach that forgiveness is the only fair and compassionate thing to do, since we have all sinned and we have all hurt others. Many psychotherapists also believe that forgiveness is necessary in order to heal. But as wise as spiritual leaders and therapists are concerning the importance of forgiveness, sometimes forgiveness is not possible. Unfortunately, we have not been given permission to choose not to forgive. It is my belief that forgiveness is not necessary for healing, and in some cases may not be the healthiest thing to do. This is especially true when forgiving is tantamount to giving permission to hurt you again.

I'd like to hear your thoughts and feelings on this sometimes touchy subject. Do you think it is always possible to forgive? ........ and giving another permission to hurt you once again....

Stay tune with my little thought ... TeresaChin ...

I have came across this article and found it really good to share with patresa's reader. We personally did not practise this - The 5 Things You Should Never Say to Your Spouse ... I thought I should have agree with this article and start to change on what not to say to my husband ... =), Sorry husband, I should have not say this 5 things.... And I promise will not say it ever again .... ;)

The 5 Things You Should Never Say to Your Spouse
1. It's your fault!
2. I told you so!
3. Saying "I am upset with you about this or that . . . ." in a public setting
4. Why do you always . . .
5. Ask for your spouse's opinion and then do the opposite.

I supposed I do need a change after I did a checklist. =)

In this day, I wish you Happy Birthday and may all the success is with you. Turning into 27 years old, you have made a lot of changes in your own life.

Patresa will give some review on both Resort. Pangkor Laut Resort vs Nexus Resort. Both have nice webpage with details information that give us an urge in our "MUST VISIT" places.

The Sea
Pangkor laut has a crystal clear water surface and nicer seaview comparing with Nexus resort eventhough Nexus resort has a longer beach. Patresa thought, Nexus Resort's beach is just a little too ordinary, nothing too impressive though. Oh yea, Pangkor laut has white sand too !

Activities
Ok, Nexus Resort provides more activities comparing with Pangkor Laut. You may check out all the available sports & recreation at the webpage. Pangkor Laut is more on relaxation.

The Crowd
The crowd in Nexus Resort are mostly family with kids and tourist with attached on their travel agency. You will see tour guide to show their customers around the resort. However, in Pangkor Laut, it's more peaceful in which there's not many kids running around, and NO tour guides.

so, if you are planning on family trip, Nexus Resort is the choice. While if you are planning for honeymoon or anniversary like us, the romantic Pangkor Laut definitely win over Nexus Resort. =) Pangkor Laut Resort will prepare special arrangement for your honeymoon or anniversary. So, do inform them upon your arrival !!! ...

services
In term of services, Pangkor Laut win BIG Time !!!! .... Pangkor Laut provides World Class Services. There's still a lot of room for improvement and learn for Nexus Resort. In Pangkor Laut, we were treated like a King and Queen on the island!

Price
In Pangkor Laut, the price that you pay is complimentary with EVERYTHING. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner and some activities, besides for massage... The package for 4 days 3 nights will comes up to 2k++.
In Nexus Resort, the price of Borneo Garden Villa is RM300++, Ocean View Villa is RM400++, complimentary with ONLY BREAKSFAST. Lunch & Dinner is on your own ...=) Bicycle rental would cost RM30/hour in Nexus Resort.

Food
Patresa is not any food lover. Patresa would compared the complimentary Breakfast ... Pangkor Laut would be more generous... =P .. Pangkor Laut provides FRESH fruit juice, with no sugar added.

Overall, both resort gave us a very good experience to stay. =)

Side by side – Year by year.





Stay tune with -patresa- =)

I believe Nexus Resort & Spa is one of the well known resort in Sabah, as this resort was screen in one of the TVB Drama - "Fu Guai Mun". Patresa will stay here for 2 days 1 night. Patresa is now staying at Borneo Garden Villa. Undeniable, this place is very nice and superb comfortable. Pat is here for the second time, while myself for the very first time... Patresa dream is to stay at Sutera Harbour Resort, which located on Manukan Island, but it's just too expensive for our liking. ;) ... Therefore, patresa decided to settle down with Nexus Resort. =) ...

I can only describe with one word. BEAUTIFUL =)

On this holiday, patresa decided to make it a little different from the previous one. Patresa did not booked any hotel before depart. Just about half an hour surfed on the internet, patresa has found Rain Forest Lodge. It's one of the affordable backpackers' accomodation in town, and it's strategic with surrounded by all the convenient store, travel agency, the famous seafood, and most of all the jetty. =)

Without thinking twice, patresa decided to stay at Rain Forest Lodge for 2 days 2 nights. It's RM60/room with common toilet. Patrick never tried staying at backpackers' hotel, so he was a little shocked. While, I tried once in Cameron Highland but I still feel a little uncomfortable too. However, we could adapt quite fast with the environment. It's a very small room, equipped with a queen size bed, a small tiny table and a chair. It's a square room, a really small one ! Patresa didn't stay inside the room most of the time. Patresa was out to explore the beautiful, clean and peaceful city... Kota Kinabalu, Sabah ! Patresa was in the room only during the night time for rest. =)

If you are planning on backpacking in KK, Sabah, I would strongly recommend this hotel. =), The toilet is clean, and the room is with aircond. It's safe, and the location is very strategic. There's Live Band everynight ! Do check it out at Rain Forest Lodge

Somehow we just feel good to take a week off the hectic city and go on vacation. No worries & works...I'm just simply enjoying this wonderful moment with my loved one...Happy Anniversary...I Love You.

Yes,Tomorrow 10th May 2010 will mark down patresa first anniversary. Probably I've mentioned it too many times, and has been counting down for the day to come, but patresa just can't wait for the lovely date !

Flashing back a year ago in 2009, it wasn't a big celebration but instead it's a day for celebration of love. Looking back on our pre-wedding album, it still put a smile on our face. It was like, it had just happened not long ago because patresa still could remember vividly on that very special day. The whole marrying process. =)

In this 2010, on our first anniversary, patresa not only wishes for more anniversaries to come but also more lovely on each passing day. May patresa's love will not fade away, but grows even stronger. =) ...

Our anniversary is a time to look back at the good times and a time to look ahead to live our dreams together

On this lovely season, patresa has changed the body wash to Olay 7 in 1 extra nourishing and ANTI-AGEING. Patresa fully recommended this to all the friends and readers. After about 2 weeks of using it, patresa could feel the effect of softness on skin. And patresa love the fragrance with it. =) ...

Happy mother's day to all the mother in the world and to myself. =) ... I was almost burst into tears this afternoon when a sales lady wishes me "Happy mother's day". I felt something is different. I used to celebrate mother's day for my own mother, but this year, I will be celebrating it for myself as well and for 2 beautiful lovely mothers. =) ...

Happy Mother's Day !

Remember the last season where I blogged about a decision I've made? Yes, I tendered my resignation on last season. I was a service engineer in telecommunication field for one year. I was working in a good company with good remuneration, salary increment, and best of all it is 21 days of annual leaves and flexible working hours...Everything seems to be good to me. But, I could not take up the stress of working at night during migration activities. =(. That's the only fall back. ;).

The initial plan after i tender my resignation was to apply to become a Teacher in private or International school. Sadly to say, I applied for a few schools, managed to get into interview session, however, I wasn't get selected. The main reason was, I do not have teaching experience. Moving forward from there, I decided to settle down with business development area in which I have to start all over again in my career path. I went into a few interview as well, some turned me down, and some with a very competitive monthly income which I wasn't satisfy with. All these took me a month to search for the right job, right position, and right offer. I went to interview almost every week, 4 weeks ! But, none that suit me, and none I suit them too.

Finally, after all the ups and downs searching for the right job, I have found one. With the job that I've always wish to be in, the job that related to Technology, and most of all, the MONEY is good. =) ... I'm here to thanks my old friend, for the helpful recommendation. Without your helps, I would be jobless for uncountable time. =)

Yups, I am now almost 1 week jobless !! .... And I'm enjoying working as Pat's PA. =) ... one more day to go... Patresa will be going back to Teluk intan over the weekend for mothers' day celebration. Also, Patresa will depart for holiday for 1st anniversary. Back from the holiday, I will start my new career path...

This season is a lovely season. Patresa is so busy and has limited time to update this beautiful lovely space.

Yesterday, we were home at 8pm. Patresa felt that, it was just too late to arrive home! ...We miss our lovely home so much.... The comfortable place to lean on, after a whole hectic day. For the first time, patrick said, "darling, you have grown up so much" ... I asked "Why?"... And pat said, "You started to miss home, and have homesick.". It was ONLY 8pm !

Patresa's friday night fever with Leffe, 23rd April 2010 ~ . Patresa happy our night for the first time at "Library" is with Leffe !~ Patresa was there for Pat's colleague farewell. We were having lot of laughter and fun ...

Yes, it was our first time to "Library". You probably would think we are a little outdated... =). The place is with cozy environment, we love the happy hour's music... Read again...I said, Happy Hour's music. After the happy hour, we can't stand the music anymore. It was just too noisy for the both of us. Probably, we are getting old. =). And we walked out from the door, and don't feel like returning.

There was a promotion during happy hour. 1 pint, free 1/2 pint ! ...

Leffe is a Belgian brand of Abbey beer. Patresa had no idea on the taste of the beer but it was recommended by Pat's colleague. We love the taste. The taste of the beer is slightly stronger than HoeGarden or Paulaner. We found that HoeGarden and Paulaner are just too smooth with slightly lack of the taste of alcohol.

Joke of the night? Khoo, spent RM30 for a glass of 'sex on the beach'. He was attracted by that name! Andddddddd....... guess what! ..... It was an orange juice !!! ...With little or none alcohol added at all !~~~ .... The joke... RM30 for the orange juice, and I can get high quality of 30 oranges. LOL !~

And... Pat bought a pack of condom for RM10 and also pat got a free 1/2 pint Stouts. Better than RM30, "sex on the beach" right" ?. The condom can be used at anywhere, not only on beach .... LOL ... =)

21st April 2010, is our bad bad day, but also our sweetest day. I'm not sure how people look at an argument. Some people comment a healthy relationship will not ends up with argument, but, patresa would think otherwise.

Some would question, why argue? Patresa's thought :- Argument is to express one's thought and feeling as well as emotions. The thought on each other, to disclose their dissatisfaction deep down in their heart. The truth is, it could be hurt, and hard to accept the ugly truth. But on the positive side, we get to know each other even better. Believe it or not, everyone is changing on every single day. Teresa is changing, patrick is changing too. To maintain a relationship, patresa could not stay stagnant on who we were on yesterday or on who we thought he/she was yesterday.

Regarless of you agree or disagree with the above thought, it's patresa's thought on how to keep their relationship on going and moving. Of course, too much argument would never comes with a beautiful ending.

You will only know, it's a sweet ending when you have taste a bitter ones !

The beautiful ending is to end our night with a tight lovely hugs & kisses.

Many friends have been asking about Lucas zhai or little lucas, Patresa's precious! Thanks for the concern and cares. Lucas is doing good @ Teluk Intan. Growing fast, and he is 5 months + old... Getting naughtier each day. And he started with some little solids - Fruits like grapes, apples, dragon fruits and oat.

Yups, this blog is only mean for Patrick & Teresa / Patresa's life. Therefore, very little update on the son. Even though some would question that the son is a part of our life as well but patresa prefer to keep it personal, and not publicly publish.

Patresa has a collection of Lucas's album in facebook but it's only for invited friends. If you would like to follow, do let us know. =)

It's always nice to have you gals around after all these years. You gals have been so supportive in every decision I made, being a real true friends by giving me wise and good advise. Never jealous on me, or neither you envy on me, and yet you gals never look down on me. We are always being truthful to each other, we never tell lies to each other when we talk, we are just so frank to each other, like as if we can be a good couple for the rest of our life, ..... we will always be each other good friends, i believe. You know, the kind of friends who can listen and talk so genuinely without worrying a single thing, and I never worry my secret will leak out at all .... The comfort that I will never find in anybody else besides you.

I'm not the kind of person who can handle my own little life well. I'm the kind who need comforts and supports. I am feeling lucky of having friends to share my feelings, the happy and the sad ones. Really, it's just so hard to find another you. Who will not betray me, will not give nasty comment, and will never condemn my life.

I remembered so vividly, a few years back, when I was young, was very unsure of my decision, was crying out loud, was hurt so deeply, and life wasn't an easy one for me and I have no one to turn to, you were there to be with me. You gals, came all the way to the city of Cyberjaya, just to give me some comfort, to show me your cares and your loves. To cheer me up, to build me stronger and to bring me hopes. I went through that moment with your support and encouragement.

Even though, you didn't get to attend my big days and celebrate most of my lifetimes big day, but I believe, you are always with me. Your little sincere wishes have always brighten up my day. I know, you always give me the best wishes you could. And all I want is the SINCERITY and WELL WISHES from your little heart, and no more .... not the money, and not the material stuffs. =)

Thank you Nora for lending me a few hours, to stay at your comfy bed, and you were there to comfort me, to open up my mind, to evaluate every possible road.
Thank you Esther for all the phone calls, the always wise choice to make.

I've finally went through another lesson with courage. A choice with no regret.
javascript:void(0)
Thank you for all the support & encouragement again !.

I love you gals in every bit of my life!

I wish you gals with all the happiness in life...

Okie, it's kinda boring with the normal boiled/fried/steamed dishes with garlic and onions. I got this idea from my ex-colleague. He suggested to do it during romantic candle light dinner. But I can't wait to give it a try. =P .... It's a veryyyyyyyy simple dish, but, Patrick likes it so so much ... *** happy happy !

We had a pretty tiring Monday. It a non-ordinary monday =P. We had our simple dinner at Tesco,Mutiara Damansara. Then we head to borders for some books & magazine... =) Supposed to go home after borders, but we decided to go for windows shopping @Ikea. Got some idea on home decoration! It also gave us some inspiration. =), The mirrors, the wardrobe, the cabinet and stuffs... We were so tired, as we can't wait to go home and rest on our comfy bed. Halfway to our car, we decided to catch a movie ! hahaha....patresa is always the kind of people who goes with the flow..... and patresa's slogan? No planning is the best planning !(as per the entry's titile) =P

Ok, We're just on time and just nice for a movie. We go for Jack Neo's movie - Being Human. We got a buy one free one ticket(RM9)from CiTibank Voucher & we bought a set of combo for RM2. Total spent = RM11 for 2 person... Worth it?! ..

Figure 1: Being Human.

I thought I can't laugh at all, as I was really really tired. But the movie is just so funny to tickle our funny bones. Patresa do has a little similiarity with the couple too...No no, not the bad part on the guy...But the part where the husband was so sleepy and the wife can't stop ranting after thinking too much ! ....Hahahaha, that's the part we laugh so loud ! Hey patresa did the same too, you know....and also the part where the husband thought ignorance is bliss...!!!! No no no...It's definitely not.... At least, it don't work on me.... =P ... Gals need attention and gals need cares and loves... All gals do.It's gals' nature, isn't? ... =)

Done with the movie, head home, bath, and on the bed! ... so much we have done on the monday night huh ! =) fuhhhhhhhhh....

Stay tune with -patresa-

Patresa rate this 8/10 ... You can't stop laughing your lung out from the beginning of this movie till the end ! This is just so nice for a married couple like us... And we enjoy this movie so much because patresa has so much similiarity with Phil & claire Foster.

The movie begin with their kids waking them up in the morning to prepare breakfast. Patresa start to imagine a few years later when Lucas at that age! ... The superb naughty boy will be worst than them. And I will be playing 1 2 3 games with little lucas, as house claire Foster did! ....hahahah....

Patresa date night is just similar with Phil & Claire Foster. Both the couple used to make fun on the people around them during their dining out. Wooooo hooo ...so do Patresa!!! ...Hahahahah, the exact same way we did... On top of that, we have more things than the couple, Foster. =P ...Patresa go to work together, and it's just so nice to talk about others driver on the road when the traffic is bad. Those driver look tense and most of them have the sour face early in the morning!.BAD ... We make fun on them, and we always laugh next to them. That cheer them up too !!! .... To us, why put on a sour face in the early morning even before you enter to office?! ... Begin your day with laughter, and happiness & luck will follow you all the way... =P

Ok, next on the Foster's encounter. Patresa has about the same experience as well !!!!, buttt,.....It's not that dramatic though... LOL ... We remember we were dining out at a chinese restaurant @ Kepong. We were so hungry and tired, after our 2 hours drive from Teluk Intan. We get down from the car, and we just get our place seated. This lady was so polite to us, and take our order. As we were waiting for our dishes, we realize our place is actually reserved for a person named "7 gor" (in chinese) aka "brother no.7" . To us, this name sound like people from the gangster group. Place is @ Kepong, undeniable we do have the thought that they are 95% from gangster. We can't change to another table, as it was full house. We remain seated. And keep on our worries, if someone will mistakenly kill us...Cos we are not "7 gor". Not long after "7 gor" arrived with his wife, and the couple stare on us with their sharp and fierce face. That put us on an extra cautious. LOL .... As we are already halfway eating, we speed up, and pay our bill. And the last we did was, ran FAST to our car..... !~ LOL ....

Moral of the story, Don't sit on the place with "RESERVED".

PATRESA
VS
FOSTER


Patresa do like this movie. The life of a marriage couple and it's FUNNY !!!

It seems like a trend that most of the people opt for iPhone as their mobile phone, for the sake of its functionality, or for its design or for the current "hot" stuff to have?


Figure 1: Stone vs iPhone ...

While blog hopping, one of my old friend posted this at Refund For Can . And the title is Cheaper Alternative to iPhone, if you don't mind no touchscreen...

I don't own an iPhone. But, is it true, iPhone 3G is without MMS?!!! I don't believe .... I don't believe steve jobs will come out with a pretty phone but without an easy logic to build MMS in it!!! And no VideoCall?!!! then what's the reason of being a 3G phone??? ....3G technology is mean for streaming data, and what the heck, No videocall?!! ....

I hope the above comparison is untrue!

It was hard to tell my most memorable date. I had been in a few relationship before I truly settled down with my husband. I supposed I'm kinda lucky as I've experience many different kind of date night. There's a touching one with fireworks specially for me, lovely dinner with the company of a bouquet of roses on the table in an italian restaurant @ Cyberview Lodge, fun one with watching magical show during my birthday just to tickle my funny bones and laugh out loud and some are quite ordinary one as in dinner + movie in the mall.

My husband and I get bored easily. We tried to go on very ordinary date - Dinner + movie, but we get bored easily with this ordinary outing. We tried to dine at home, with our homecooked dishes and a bottle of wine. It was fun for the first few times but, eventually we get bored as well. We used to go for evening walk around the park, and this activity doesn't last long... Of course, those date does make our happy happy day.

But one thing we never get bored of during our date night is "making fun and fool with other people who surround us!" ....Regardless of it's an ordinary date night or an exclusive one, our night is always fun with our tricky tricky idea. ***ngek ngek ngek*** You know, by making friends with strangers, interrupting their conversation, and observe their response is just so fun ! It's also cheering other people and other couples around us! Those people are just too tense to put a smile on their face! We have got the satisfaction with the doings and we always laugh out loud together in the public. It's not the matter of how exclusive a date night, it's always the matter of how genuine the smile and laugh on our face that make up the memorable and unforgetable date night! ...

Thank you Nuffnang for given us the opportunity to win this movie ticket!

It's been quite some time since our last movie. Yesterday,7th April, patresa has chosen Clash Of The Titan to watch. It's another movie which we thought worth the money. It's only RM16.00 on Wednesday night for a pair of couple seat @Cineleisure for the movie that has practically invested for about 70 million dollars in re-producing the movie.


Figure 1: Clash Of The Titan

The movie begin with a narration describing and introducing the characters - zeus, poseidon & Hades.(Patresa like this way of introduction =) ) Then the half god and half human, son of zeus, Perseus was introduced. Patresa loves the animation and the visual effect in the movie. It's look real. The sound effect of every storm and thunder, the fighting scene, the climax was pretty good ! The plot is not complicated to understand. Overall we rate this 7/10 ...Thumbs UP.. However,patresa still prefer The Book Of ELI more. =P...

Go watch this movie!!! .... They have invested 70 million to re-produce "Clash OF The Titan"... We're not supposed to waste their effort and money ... Furthermore, this is a movie that worth all your penny you pay. =))

Oh, before we end, we thought Sam Worthington as Perseus has done a pretty good job in this movie. =) He looks tough with his body shape....So sexy huh !

Being a newly wed couple for almost a year, we had enjoyed ourselves with less worries. Hanging out with friends, and with less responsibilities and commitments for the past 2009.

In this year 2010, we made a vow to grow up, to be responsible, to have commitments, and to be a better person.
We have chosen a beautiful place where less people choose to be in at our age. (The road not taken?). A place with full of family community instead of the headache happening life nearby mall or places full of entertainment temptation. We need a peaceful life, surrounded with all the positive people around or good influence from the neighbourhood. We believe, the people surround us will influence us the most. We need a place that give us an energy in the morning, to live our life with full of hopes and dreams, a place that make us realize the importance of family values. Yes, thanks god!,Eventually we have chosen a most suitable place after searching for up and down for more than half a year. =)

Our new hub is very comfortable with the refreshing air blowing into our home. This morning, we woke up with fresh and energetic look before leaving home. After work, we head home, and we had a few round of walks around our place. We saw kids are running and playing around. Observing them, we wish our precious will grow up fast, and joining that group of kids. =) Those kids are so cute and so smart and so handdddsome !!! =) Got home, and I prepared our dinner for Friday Night ! Ain't that's how a family should be? ... Oh yea, the people here rest early at night...I guess before 12am? .... It's just quite during night time! Probably they were having sweet & quality time with their family members at home. =) ....

Yups, no worries...It sound bored for some people with this kinda of life, and probably we will feel bored in the future as well, but we try to have some "spark" once in a blue moon =P...Oh yea,will still enjoy our days if not everyday...Plan for movie over the weekend and get some friends to hang out with ! =) -tata-

Have a nice weekend, everyone !

Yups, I have been feeling guilty since my precious lucas is out to see the world. I was in dilemma whether I should continue as a working mum or stay-at-home mum. Till today, after I read the article below.

I HAVE often been asked: “Who is better – the working mother or stay-at-home mother?” Mothers who want to quit working, want to know whether they are making the right choice. While mothers who are full-time home-makers want to know how it will affect their children when they join the workforce.

Whether working or stay-at-home, all mothers share the same fears and concerns. They wonder whether they are feeding their children right or spending enough time teaching them the right values.

You should always feel that you are doing your best for the children. Whether you work or stay at home, you are a full-time mother. There is no place for guilt. If you look after your children with knowledge, skill, love and patience, you are the kind of mother that deserves the highest recognition.

I grew up with a working mother whose own mother was a stay-at-home parent. When I was growing up, my mother and my grandmother often differed in their views on how children should be disciplined or how to manage certain behaviours.

Whenever my mother went on annual leave, we felt that she was cramping a year of parenting into a few short weeks. She made us clean our rooms and gave us extra written work for practice. We were quite relieved whenever she returned to work.

My siblings and I felt much better when Mother was at work. We wanted her to leave us to our own devices. When she was juggling work and raising us, she shared her time with us doing what really mattered. She took us on educational trips and introduced us to arts and culture.

My mother fared better outside the house. She also worked because we needed the extra income.

She could hardly cook but she took us out to great eateries to try out international cuisine. Sewing was not her forte either.

There were many things she did not do but my mother’s mothering style provided us with a great deal more.

We learned to do many things that she could not do. I started cooking at a young age because my mother encouraged me by buying as many cookbooks as she could afford.

Mothers get criticised for their choices. When they choose to work outside the home, many would frown on them and blame them for all the wrongs their children did because they were not able to stay home to spend time with their children.

When my children were babies, I had one stay-at-home mother who asked whether I breastfed my children. She also told me that I would not have much time for my children because of my busy schedule.

A mother who chooses to stay at home with her children is often misunderstood as someone who could not do much outside the home. I know of many well-educated and capable women who are home-makers.

I once met a lady who was conducting a survey on households.

She asked: “Madam, you don’t work outside the home. What is your educational background? Did you finish secondary school?” She looked surprised when I told her I had post-graduate qualifications. She had assumed that I was a stay-at-home mother because I had little education.

I used to have a neighbour who was a stay-at-home mother. Every day I could hear her screaming at her crying son. She was not happy and neither was her young son. She felt stressed out and lonely staying home the whole day with a young child.

What children really want is a happy mother, regardless of whether she is a career woman or a home-maker.

We raise our daughters on limitless possibilities of career choices. We must support them in the choices they make.

Children thrive on their mother’s love; there is no discrimination whether this love comes from a working mother or a stay-at-home one.

Be confident and trust that what you have chosen for yourself is also the best for your child.

Thanks to the author RUTH LIEW.

I should stop all my doubt and worries from today onward.

Let's pray together for patresa will focusing well in the life. =)

Yups, before our season two ends, we had a real busy and tiring week. However we enjoyed every moment of it.

The day has finally arrived, our dream!

We started our weekend a day earlier on Friday. It's a holiday to us, we drove around town to find things we want and things that we have been liking! Finally after hours of searching up and down, we got it cheap and beautiful! LOL.... Never say pretty thing never comes cheap. =p... Phew, tiring day.... I will disclose our lovely stuffs, once everything is complete.

Pat was working on Sat, and we rushed home after he done with his job. Reason: We miss our little precious, and the main reason was because we have to attend Qing Ming. Reach home at night time on Sat, we had family chats and we went to bed before 12am. The next day we woke up at 530am, to get ready for the Qing Ming.

Qing Ming is a chinese tradition to clean our ancestors' grave, prays and to give our respect to ancestor. Hehe! It's my FIRST time going for Qing Ming ~ .... so, 28th of March 2010 is something special for me. It's really tiring and the weather was superb hot, but we enjoyed our time with the family. Pat's uncle was telling about his childhood life, and he misses those time when he was little. oh, so sweet of him! =) After Qing Ming, we rest a while, play with our precious before we headed home in the evening. Time flies....

Reached home at 10pm, and I can only rest for 30 minutes before moving a move to work. =( ...Yups, the night job is OVER now..was a smooth one. Thanks God....=) ... Am really tired now. But, something great is awaiting me....And I just can't wait to head home NOW !!! .... Today, it's gonna be a great day for the both me and husband. Our dream has finally comes true. =) ...

Spotted below quote on your FB status. To me, this is really true... What says you?

life is not about the people who act true to my face, it's about the ppl who remain true behind my back

I've came across quite a number of people in my life,not many, but at least, I'm all rounder enough to have ppl from the young one age start from age 11(My current email pal), the teenages , adults and elderly, the real superb rich guys and the pity poor one! They are my hi-bye friend, phone-call friends,email friends(no more pen pal friend in this generation, i guess!) friends who are real smart in either doing business or real genius one in study, the dropout from uni/school, the talented one, and the list goes on....till the real ordinary one living in this world.

I am always being who I am, whenever, wherever and to whoever I gonna meet. I'm not a pretender or a fake kind of person. I believe, honesty is always the best policy, agree? I never fake out my kind personality, my soft spoken side, and neither i act anything just to get pleased.Because, I don't believe, by acting all these will get me to last long in any relationship I engaged to. I speak on behalf of my own thought and I act on behalf of my own personality. I can be a kind one to whoever deserve my kindness, and true enough I can be pretty harsh as well.

My advise is, always being truthful of who you are and no worry about the one who act true to your face and giving nasty comment at your back. =) ... Because, eventually this person does not matter to you anymore. =) ...And you will get support from many others around you! ...Believe me ... =)

My dear friend, Cheers up! .... You will always get the true friend support for whoever you are. The true friends will always be with you, physically or virtually.=) ... You're about to face the problems I had. Share it out with your family members, and be strong to face it!

Take good care... You know who are you ....You sat behind me when we were in high school... =)

truly and sincerely from -teresa-
