Breaking the silence - Sam Chee Tat, gone too soon

The day came that I lost my true love.
The day came that I will never hear his voice speak to me again.
The day came that I will never get to touch him again.
The day came that I have lost it all, so I think.
The day came that I will never have a normal life.
The day came that I will be alone once again.
The day came that I am no longer in a live relationship.
The day came that I am reminded of how precious life is.
The day came that I am no longer a wife but I am now a widow.
The day came and I never wished for it to ever come...

I have lost all tears,
I have lost all faith,
I have lost all hope,
I have lost it all.

I have with me, the love he loved me with,
I have with me, the memories that I shall never forget,
I have with me, the greatest years lived with him,
I have with me, the sadness and pain that don't seem to go away.

I am strong because he loved me
I am awake because he loved me
I am sad because he loved me
I am speechless because he loved me
I am lost because he loved me

To my dearest husband Sam, I know you will never get to read this, but I believe that no one would have ever loved you more than I did and not even your own family. I might have been horrible at times, but my love and feelings for you have always been real and true. You showered with me with what true love and affection. Never one day did you ever lose you patience with me. I am sorry that I might not have been the perfect wife and that I may have given you bad days. No one will understand me the way you did. My heart is broken and I want it to remain that way, for it was only for you.

A day in a life of a Bank relationship manager

This might not apply to many lucky RMs out there but this is how serious I take my job.

Think of ongoing crap that u left home for late last night

Think of whether you should drive or catch a train 

Think of any appointments you have for the day

Think of whether any of your clients have decided to default

Think of your parents, family and pets longing to just catch a piece of you but you come home all grumpy or it's past bed time

Think of dinner at supper hours

Think of no time to pee I'm gonna pee on my chair 

Think of bonuses, incentives

Think hard when can you bloody leave for the damn block leave

Think of account plans 

Think of renewals

Think of risky accounts and monitoring shit

 Oh my it's time to shut my eyes now!

Foodtique @ Bangsar

I regularly eat at Foodtique so this post is really something which was quite a disappointing post. Too bad the bosses were not there and the waiter just stares  at you. 

I'm not commenting on their main menu as the food is quite good. But one morning I decided to try out the dim sum and maybe I expected the same quality and great tasting food.... I was disappointed and didn't even finish half of what we ordered 

Fried Prawn dumpling. Not crispy but has been fried twice. Hard crust. By the time you get to the fillings, scores already dropped. 

Steam meat buns. Worst I've had. The bun is hard and crusty as if steamed multiple times and the dough has given up. 

Radish cake, the only dish we ordered that had acceptable texture and taste. 

We did not enjoy our brunch on a Saturday. Won't come for dim sum anymore. Sticking to the main stuff. 

Maybe the chef was having a bad day, but ya whatever. 

Easecox Diamant

I wore this dress in June 2013, and I wore it again today. Till date my pinch nerve doesn't annoy me anymore and my back aches are relatively less than before.  Easecox works and there is no illusion or fake promises. My digestive system has improved tremendously and my body is more firm. 

No diet fads no supplement or pills. Just consistency and believe to take the dirt step to try. After all, we work so hard and end up forgetting ourselves, what's use of the money we make if not to improve our life and health. 

No obligation consultation in KL, email lptjin@gmail.com

 I don't know what pose this was but it seemed fit when this was taken hahaha! Was at the Easecox award night at Sunway Hotel! Spent 6 hours in the ballroom and was excited and entertained the whole time. That's 6 hours of work not done for catching up on my 9-9 job. Blek!

Encore Patisserie @ Taman Desa

There are so many cafés sprouting out around KL and some are great while others are just in it for the race. 

Whilst living in Melbourne, we would go for cakes and pastries every weekend. However now that we are back in KL the usual nasi lemak and chee cheung fun hits all the spots and no space for sweet stuff. 

Stumbled upon a post on my fb of a new cafe in town but this time not a coffee den but a patisserie. Encore Patisserie originates from Sydney if my memory serves me well. 

Whatever it is, didn't browse long enough at the selections as the Mille Feuille caught my attention straight away. Not gonna say much but if you don't try it you are definitely missing out on quality and real pastry. One of the owners showed us a way of eating it, slice the top half up and go thru layer by layer as cutting straight thru the pastry will just destroy the whole block of OMG cream.

One thing which is important with food is freshness. Everything still tastes, feels and looks fresh. 

New place to hang out!

Vongole @ Chinoz BSC

 I've been patronizing Chinoz ever since KLCC days like more than 10 years ago. The same dish was great and served with real nice looking juicy clams.

Come 2014, this is what I get! Chilli padi fried lala tossed with pasta. I can't remember but the price was like RM38 or RM48. There were overcooked bits and the lala was just tiny. As if you just went to the pasar pagi and grabbed a bag full.

It was first day of CNY and the place was busy and I was starving. Can't wait for another plate to come. Ate half and never coming here again. 

Happy Lunar New Year!

Managed to catch a glimpse of the lion dance on the last day of CNY!

Special Plan Zone - Maxis

Got this on my phone few hours ago when I started checking on my Facebook. Called 123 and they said it's an error message caused by some glitch. However the guy on the phone said that it would not affect our billing or will there be any changes to our usual data plans. Will just have to wait till they fix the issue.
