GONG XI FA CHAI

Oh yes! Fatt Choi! Fatt Choi!

Who don't want that? I want it too. But it seems that from this year onwards, I will be more like "Poh Chan" (cantonese meaning 'banqrupt')! Before you get married, you will love when Chinese New Year comes around. You know you will be able to pocket some money from relatives you visit as they gave red packets when you wish them Happy Chinese New Year.

However, since I got married end of last year, now, I am in dilemma. I am looking forward to the Chinese New Year but at the same time, I am not. Looking forward, because, I will be able to meet up with all my relatives and family members, chatting and talking and laughing all the way! Not because, this year when I wish them Happy Chinese New Year, I have to give 'ang pow' (red packet)to their children whom are yet married, and little as they are, looking at you, saying

'koko...gong hee huat chai! ang pow na lai!
(brother, wishing you prosperity, and now give me your ang pow)

This is the thing that keep me thinking. why you wish people prosperity and yet, you asked 'red packet' from that person!

So, am wondering, can I reply them this year saying...

well, thanks for your wishes. Since you wish me so, I am keeping the money, and you can just take the red envelope minus the money inside! Let's be practical...prosperity means more money!

But! Never mind la! For the sake of happiness and joyous occasion, I will learn how to join in others and give. So, don't worry!

well, it's more blessed to give than received! and prosperities is more than to money only!

So, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR and here, this is your ang pow (red packet)!



So, don't come and ask me for more! You have yours!

Working life





One of the thing that I miss after I started working is this!
Well, now sleeping is a luxury. I can't sleep at time I feel I wanted too and just simply watch a movie till late at night and not to worry about getting up anymore. Now, I have to go to bed by 1030 pm and waking up freaking early at 615am...

I can't remember when is the last time I have this type of lifesytle. well, at least for the past 8 years, I don't have to go through that. After I left my secondary school, I have more freedom.

Now, I am going back to that! ahhh....

Anyway, I also miss my carefree lifestyle back then...


At least, not so much of preasure to handle.

So, this coming Chinese New Year, I am going to take my break and re-live that again. I want to be free and have a good holiday!
So, Langkawi anyone?

Sg Gabai Waterfall

Last Sunday, we decided to take a trip to the Sg Tekala waterfall but while driving there, the weather starts to look uncompromising…

Indeed, soon after, it pours cats and dogs.

look at the skies... its closing in on us


We reached Sg Tekala and decided to move on to Sg Gabai as the Sg Tekala is full of people picnic with their family. The drive to Sg Gabai is a scenic drive as we pass the Semenyih dam. It’s huge.

Sg Tekala is located along the road towards 18th mile in Cheras from Semenyih town. Sg Tekala is always abuzz with people picnic and spending time to chill of the warm Malaysian weather.

Sg Gabai is no any different. It is another 20 minutes drive from Sg Tekala and located in one of the Selangor national park area. Unlike the Sg Tekala, Sg Gabai is located 2km away from the main road. So, look out for the sign towards Sg Gabai.

Upon reaching Sg Gabai, the rain stopped. However to our surprises, the place is pack with the people. It seems that everyone continue to play at the waterfall though it was pouring earlier.

Immediately, we hike up the waterfall, high and looks like never ending steps.


More to go…


By the time we reach to where we want to play, we are darn tired! And we are greeted with this sight!

I am surprised with the number of people there. Actually, I should have expected that since this is a popular picnic area among the locals!

Without wasting time, we change and start to jump into the water!

WooOOOoooOOooOooOO….

It’s so cold that….emm… and we shivers!

my cousin, Li Wern, myself and my brother, Khai EE


However, soon we are so into the water that the cold water can’t deter us from enjoying it anymore. It has been more than 3 years since the last time I enjoy swimming in the natural.




I know, we just came back from phuket but the water there is different. As much as I love Phuket for the sea, there is something about water fall that I love.


The water flowing from the waterfall is always so refreshing as it is fresh from the mountain but the sea water is kind of sticky because of salt content! Furthermore, it is cold!

As we sat there playing with water, a bunch of teenagers decided to play at the natural slide…



Its oblivious to them the danger it posed towards them. Every time they take a drop, my heart sank with them. But they are full of stunt that we sometimes forget about the danger and enjoy the ‘show’. enjoy it as the do the 'skating' pose and more...



After more photo taking, we decided we should head home as its getting dark and mosquitoes start to ask for free blood donations. I don’t plan to give any free donation that day, we took more pictures and went back for dinner!
