Gong Xi Fa Cai!!

cf2017_01_28_11_00_23
It is the Fifth day of Chinese New Year (年初五).

Hmm… things are good so far. Well, some hiccups though. Disappointment, Guilt, Regrets, macam-macam.

Learning to be patient, taming my temper and plastering my mouth. Silent is Golden. 阿彌陀佛. Hope my repentance will help lessen my Karma. 😛

Encounter this cute apps (Meitu) which perks up my day. Life is impermanent and I should cheer myself up when no one does. 😀

Wishing you all Gong Xi Fa Cai and Good Health always.

HE is the greatest.

Staring at the log in page for a moment, I can’t figure out what to do. 困ったなあ! Blank. Total blank. Blank… blank… Super Blank… Mega Blank. Gave up and seek for help with hope of not getting shoot with AK47.
Surprise. Surprise. It turned out smooth like butter. Image result for shrug pout Nah~he is just in the mood.

Too many things happened, I would like to skip and not to think about it. Indeed, there is no point of dwelling about the past. Life goes on though and all facts accepted. Walking the ups and downs of this life journey of mine with the toughest manners I can. I got the power, yeah? But God is still the greatest afterall. Hope that 2017 will be good to me. At least better to me. おねがいします!

Thinking low and high about what I want in life. I told A that I want to die a happy person and be a happy ghost soul with no regrets in life. Well, if you know. I will be floating on cloud nine when I travel. You know what? It is time for me see the world. I have been such a desperado. Waiting no more and missing solo travel, I checked out the flight fares. Of all the places, Kansai kept appearing. Okay, you are calling me. I got you.

So, I tried my luck texting A about Japan. To my surprise, he got excited about it too. At times, I can’t ‘guess’ him but finally, huh? Kan? Kan? Be grateful! 😀

Thinking to myself, what a cliché that I am counting down. *rolled eyes*. Because I am excited ~ what. Then this Mr. Suka Potong Stim creature intruded my excitement by reminding me that CNY comes first.

Very mixed feeling.

It’s coming soon…

fruit cake 2015

I have got the mixed-fruits soaked for 2 months plus or more I can’t recall, placed in a cool, dry place (in a cupboard) – untouched. Thanks to the nice weather of yesterday and I finally got the mood the bake it. I feel like Christmas is coming and what a clic to say, how time flies like nobody’s business.

Man, I am thinking of my life now. Should I or shouldn’t I take a sabbatical? Semi-retire maybe? Should I or shouldn’t I continue with my Japanese Language lesson? Tailoring lesson is still in pending. Handwork project is also in pending.

The only thing I will not give up for sure is Yoga. Hmm… how? what? where? when? why? Big sigh~ So many things in mind.

Monday…

tea_time

…blue!!

Hello! It has been such a long time since I last blog. It’s raining now and I am enjoying my Milo with a dash of cinnamon serve with Hup Seng Cream cracker. My all time favourite.

Wishing the rain will wash away the all dust in the air. The haze is indeed very very very bad in these few months to the extent many cancellation of Marathons and outdoor activities which is disappointing for those who has been training and look forward to it. I am no exception, no trail and no walking in the park. So depressing.

Well, lucky me that there’s one thing I love doing. Yoga that it is. I am self-practicing at home and I explored a few new asana (poses) which is really fun! Thanks for the inspiration from Instagram (IG). There are so many  incredible yogis out there in this world.

You can follow me on IG @gopako to see my daily practice. Not perfect poses I did, but it is indeed a progress of it. Or check out GOPAKO for some sharing of mine.

Ouch~ the rain has stopped. 🙁 Can feel the heat again. Let’s together we pray for this “man-made-disaster” to stop and get to breathe fresh air back again!!

PostoExpress Rocks!

postoexpress

What is PostoExpress?

PostoExpress is an On-Demand-Dispatch service operating within the confines of Klang Valley. They can do delivery within 3 hours from pick up point to drop off point at anytime of the day (24/7) and even on weekends. Wow!

I have been using this service since last 2 weeks for both personal and business matters.

The 1st time I engage with PostoExpress was about 2 weeks ago when I bought some herbs for my mom. I wanted her to have it so badly but admittedly it was my bad that I couldn’t make my time to bring it over to my mom. Since I have 3 times FREE deliveries, why not-kan? Within 1 hour, my mom got the herbs. Cepatnya~

I also engage with PostoExpress to send my products from GOPAKO to one of my loyal customers. My customer is reeeeeeally happy with the prompt action. Of course I myself is very happy with PostoExpress, very good service. Hmm, I can consider adding an option on GOPAKO website for those who are willing to pay extra in order to get the goods within 3 hours upon purchasing.

Just like our customer from HunnyChamp, the mother was so desperate to have the Woombie Swaddle for her baby. And voilà~ without headache we got the delivery settled in less than 2 hours. Mommy happy. Baby happy. We lagi happy.

I sometimes dislike driving far just for a few minutes business. I got my supplier to sign-up with PostoExpress and send me my orders. Tehehe~ Comes to think about this, it helps save petrol from PJ to Taman Melawati to and fro. Save my hassle from parking, you know-lah how troublesome it is to get a parking space during office hour. Most importantly, it helps save lots of time! Hey, every minute counts okay. I can do my work while waiting for the delivery. What best is, you will receive a notification via SMS and follow up by a call. At least you will be able to estimate the time of arrival. I can arrange my time so nicely.

Honestly speaking, I am a very well organized person – in terms of schedule-lah. For productivity, I am so willing to pay extra for the service which helps save all the hassles. PostoExpress is pretty new in Malaysia and I believe that there’s always a room for improvement and will definitely be a leading dispatch company in Malaysia and Worldwide. I am very happy with their service. Here’s my full support to PostoExpress.

Oh~ how to get your  3 FREE Deliveries? Sign up for it here : bit.ly/1RXQl5j

I hope you enjoy their service as much as I do.

 

Machine is working…

machine_01

HELLO !! It has been awhile huh…

I have finally made a trip to send my machine for repair at Menara Singer.

As I entered the building, a Chinese aunty approached me without hesitation. Me too explained everything without hesitation-lah (head-shake). She placed my machine on a table and ran a few times of testing. She checked and checked and checked to rest assure that she can help fix it to save my money for major repairing. Of course I have to if needs be.

I sincerely feel grateful to her for the effort of fixing my machine. In and out there she goes searching for tools. All I could do was just standing there watching her cute gestures, almost turning her small little shop upside down. Aunty, you are so cute and kind! I like you!

There are a few tight screws she couldn’t unscrew, I offered my help. Immediately we both team up. The bobbin case was broken and it cost RM50 to replace it. Of course I could bear the cost but unfortunately, it was out of stock. Alamak. I don’t mind leaving my machine there for a day or week, but Aunty is soooo full of spirit. She asked me to sit down and let her do her magic. With her not-so-good eye-sight, I help a bit with threading the needle and screwing. The magic was ~ sandpaper the broken bobbin case. That’s it!? Ok or not, Aunty?

We assembled everything back in order. So gan-jeong when she steps on the pedal. The sound of the machine is so nice and smooth. It is working just so fine! She said, “Go Home Now!”. LOL. So cute-kan this Aunty. Before I make my move, I thought of paying her for the repairing fees. She said it’s okay, F.O.C. Oh my goodness~ don’t make me leave without paying you. So I bought 10 original bobbins which I should be using it, and a casing for my machine. Yay!

machine_02

Well ~ the design is kinda not my style, but I need a good casing for protection. Let’s go home baby! Can’t wait to sew again. Next target is a Coverlock Machine. Gotta ikat perut for it.

coverlock_machine

Hmm, it is time to be good and I ask for a bigger space for my work station.

Happy Belated New Year!!

table_calendar

Happy 11th day of 2015!

Nandaji was asking us what is our new year’s resolution in one of his evening classes. Huh… this question is so out, dey. No, nothing. Life goes on. That was my answer to his question.

Honestly, I don’t know what is it to be so excited about except for getting a new table calendar with bigger boxes for me to write on. This is the 1st ever biggest table calendar I got since so many years like a decade. Thank you for that although I wish it to be bigger larger. This is giving me the idea (which I already have it long ago but no action to it) to make a BIG table calendar or maybe a wall calendar for myself next year. I want it very, very big you know? Do you want one? Hah!

Appointments and meeting are all set. Deadlines, set. Urgh~ Boring. Thank God I do have classes and activities to cheer me up. They are the Yang to my Yin.

So, what is your new year’s resolution? 😀

Petzl Night Trail Run 2014…

petzl night trail run 2014

How many runs have you ran this year?

1. Brooks 10km
2. Er… 5km Second Chance Run
3. 5km Color Run.
4. This is my 4th run. My 1st trail run. 1st night run. 1st 12km run. 😛

Honestly, I was pretty worry and scared of this run. I can really feel butterflies fluttering in my stomach until I really sakit perut. But not to the extend of terberak la. It was good to be there early. We met new good friends and managed to get free taping from Spider Tech. I was actually quite worry about my right knee (old injury) and why not try Spider Tech since it’s free kan? So I told the guy who assist me, “My knee ar ada problem. Masa I naik dan turun ‘slope’, rasa macam ‘dislocate’. Bukan ‘dislocate’ lah tapi macam tersekat. (My knee has problem. When I go up and down the slope, it feels like dislocate. Not really dislocate but kind of stuck. )”. Then this guy press, press, press… and he said. Stiff huh? He continue pressing to examine the knee then he start taping. I also got my sprained shoulder tapped at RM10.

A warm up session started at 730pm. It was conducted by an instructor from Celebrities Fitness and I can’t believe it that I enjoy Zumba so much. Well done! So warmed up, tak sabar-sabar to start running pula. Flag off at 830pm for men and 845pm for women.

I thought that I might be gone in km 1 or 2 but by keeping my momentum and breathing, I managed 4km before entering the trail. I can feel the pain on the chest and I though that that’s it for me. But I try pushing myself a bit, imagine myself practicing yoga. I rolled the shoulders to the back, lift the rib cage up, expand the chest and breathe. Hey, it really helps don’t play play and guess what? I was still running in the trail except for going uphill. No stamina at all for uphill. So I run when the route is flatter or downhill and walk/hike uphill. Panting, friend!

In the middle of run, suddenly my knees came to my senses. Hey, they are doing great. I don’t feel any ‘dislocate’ or stuck sensation. It keeps me moving and especially I can feel it supporting the knee during the run. Wow, magic. It is a going to be a good investment for my sports activities next time. Now I know how useful the tapes are to all the international athletes. In another hand, my sprained shoulder got no any better. I’ve gotta pull out from a Volleyball match in the next morning which I have been dying for. Sob sob… Not happy but I believe that it happens for a reason.

Oh, one more thing! The shoes. Salomon XR Mission Trail-Running shoes that it it. I haven’t tried other brands so far but it is indeed a good pair of trail shoes. Good grip. Good grip!

It is very important to get yourself a good gear for sports when protective equipment can save you from injury. 🙂 I wish everybody happy weekend and good health always! xox.

Machine dah rosak…

additional_pocket

I am sad. My sewing machine is having some technical problems and I have yet to send it for repair. 🙁 Sad. Sad. Sad.

Trail run is taking place tomorrow night and I wanted to bring my mobile phone along. Yes, I insist. I always feel safer to have a phone with me no matter it’s a short jog or walk around the park. Yes, I am a scaredy cat and pardon me for my jakun-ness. This is my 1st trail run and my 1st night run. So, it is a wise choice to have a phone with me. Blerk!

Because I am using a Samsung Note 3, I don’t find it possible getting a shorts with such a huge pocket for it. Therefore, I am modifying mine with a hidden pocket to fit my phone. Material that I choose is knitted cotton which I find it more comfortable when it’s against your skin and sweat absorbent. Says who? ME!

No machine? Hand stitch~lor.

Voilà it’s done in less than 30 minutes. !! Happy and satisfied with it. Hope I will be able to complete the run tomorrow. Me scared, scared I sakit perut dah. 😛

Last mont of 2014…

dec_2014

I should be excited because festive season is coming soon. Come to think about it, I just noticed that I have not got my annual fruits cake prepared. OMG. Skip it? Skip it not? Hmm!

Maybe it’s heading to year end, someone is trying to make it up to me to have a lunch with me in a different place. Which is Porki Society in Taman Paramount. Not too bad and as usual, a bit pricey.

By looking at the calendar, I have 2 more runs to accomplish this year. Petzl Night Trail Run on the 6th and a Relay run on the 14th. How I miss the baton. 😀  Okay ler~ Nothing much to talk about. Have a nice Tuesday dear all.
