Another one of my staff is leaving. She has handed in her resignation letter about two weeks ago. She is resigning on the 10 June but she has her annual leaves to cover up the days in June. So she will only be with us till the end of this month. But considering that I won't be around when she leaves, I decided to give her a personal farewell.  I bought a cake only for her. A set of KFCs for all of us. 5 Spicy fried chicken - for the boss, 2 sales promoters and 2 staff 5 Zinger burgers - for the resigning staff, cashier and 3 part-timed workers 2 Colonel Burgers - for the cashier and the boss Mashed potatoes - specially for the boss All well distributed. A staff and I have none as we didn't want. Farewell, Lan! All the best to your future undertakings!

Yeah, I will be somewhere soon but I still haven't packed my luggage. Will do it soon after my sleep.  By the way, I just exchanged some cash from the money changer. I always need some cash and most importantly my credit card. This time, I will be using my own credit card. It will be winter. Great as I can stay away from the heat here for a while. Ok, all of you take care!

I usually cook in the morning, take my lunch and then straight to work. I make sure that I reach my workplace before 12pm. That's when my cashier needs a lunch break.  Well, I cook simple dishes. My boy always asks me, "Ma, tomorrow eat what?" I always reply, "Fish lo..your favorite!"  But I need vegetables, my favorite. I could just eat most of the vegetables and leave the whole piece of fish for my boy and girl.  8 May 13 10 May 13 14 may 13 21 May 13 22 May 13 My boy would say, "Ma, why only two dishes? Cook more la." I would reply, "Oh, then why don't you cook for me?" If he needs to stay back after school, he would say, "Ma, tomorrow don't cook for me ah." I would say, "Great! Tomorrow I can simply cook without fish!" By the way, I need to take a break from cooking, working and blogging too.. And here's announcing my top regulars for this m

Teacher's Day is over but yesterday was the last day that I handed the last gift to my customer who is a teacher. Teacher's Day Contest was carried out whereby participants were needed to nominate their teachers. Only 3 students norminated their teachers and thus they collected the gifts for their teachers. A student actually brought along his teacher to collect the gift. Then there were two bloggers who were being nominated too. I had sent to them. Just a small gesture to wish them happy Teacher's Day. On the 16 May itself, I was hoping for teachers to come to my shop so that I could give them the gift. My girl's teacher came and I was glad to give her the gift. She was so surprised.  Last but not least, yesterday a teacher was shopping at my shop and I presented her with the last gift. She was overjoyed and at the same time, I invited her to visit Chang Jiang so as to join in the Father's day Contest. It's fun to participate in a contest.

Few days ago, my girl told me that she saw a rat running across the living room. The next day she saw it running across the kitchen. I told her that I would bring back the sticky glue cardboard but I kept on forgetting.  So yesterday morning, I was at the kitchen and I could smell something bad. I looked down the table and I saw them!   Actually I placed that sticky cardboard long ago to trap lizards but here I trapped two rats! Of course, I had to clear them away. Next, I saw this box of gift in the rack in my dining room. I decided to make it as a Father's Day winning prize at Chang Jiang facebook. That reminded me to order two packets of Fitline Herbalslim tea from KL. I just had to fax my order and my credit card authorization form. Next, after my lunch, I quickly rushed to the post office. I had to send a gift to someone as soon as possible. When I was near the Post Office, I took some pictures of the surroundings. Formerly it was a

Yesterday, I decided to cook spaghetti for my husband, boy and girl. Very simple one actually.. ingredients: fried fish cake, lettuce, fried onions, omelette, pasta sauce with minced meat and spaghetti ready four portions distributed the sauce evenly Then I sent the container of spaghetti over to my husband. He's working but I took the day off. No comment but since everyone finished it without any leftovers, I presume it's ok :) I was looking over at my photo album and I found this. I was there with some of my school mates. It's a priceless photo. At that time, I was working in PJ. Such sweet memories. Thus I posted at my school's (alma mater) facebook. I also collected some pictures for my Educator blog. :)

Since I'm not a teacher anymore, I want to remember those days when I was one. So I have started a new blog ie. wenn-educator This particular blog will tell about my life before and during my teaching life. By the way, I came across these photos of my girls. They wore my robe and mortar board meant for my graduation in 2002.  my girl in UK  my girl in Perth and my mum

It was in 1999 when I was accepted to do my degree in TESL. My first year was in Maktab Perguruan Kinta, Ipoh. My major was TESL (Teaching English as Second Language) but we had no choice but to take BM as our minor. My other friends in other colleges had the choice. They could choose Music, Seni or PJ. I would surely choose Music.  Well, in my first year, we had BM presentation for our minor. Frankly speaking, I was so used to speak and write in English that I found it difficult to deliver in BM. All of us were required to hold a post. I was given the post as a VIP to officiate a ceremony. As you know, VIP has to deliver speeches. In my role, I had to deliver a speech. I had the help from my Malay course mate. He actually wrote for me the whole speech. I just had to memorize it and deliver it as cool as possible. My course mate thought it would add some twist if he introduced me as Datin ...bt Abdullah. My lecturer was surprised as he thought that I had embraced Islam.

This man took the advantage to shoplift when he knew that the boss was not in. He was taking down those padlocks and put them into the plastic bag. He was waiting for the right time to get out but he was stuck. He went out several times to check the situation but unfortunately the boss came back. The boss was suspicious of that man and was eying him. That guy must had felt it and he quickly left without taking those stuff away. His mission failed! Look at what he had intended to steal.. 4 types of padlocks How much would that be?

Last Saturday, I was curious as I saw so many people surrounded a man. They were about 6 shops away. So I just walked over to have a look. My husband was there too. He showed me the orange stone that he bought.  So I asked: 'What  is it for?' He replied: 'For luck or even for protection.' He bought this stone for RM80 He asked me to try. Meaning the owner will inspect my thumb with a magnifying glass. He must be inspecting the thumb print lines. After a short while, he told me that the purple and the green stones suit me. I chose the purple one. I hold the stone in my hand over a special rounded stone in a small bowl. Surprisingly, that stone rotated. Then he asked for my age. I didn't want to tell but my husband said the man needed it to say some words on the stone. I walked back to the shop after I had told told my husband to pay for it. Later, he told me that he only paid RM50 for mine as he had recommended quite a number of people. my pu

Yesterday morning, I decided to wash my husband's car. I had used it on the 1 May to KL but I didn't wash it then. I usually have the car washed after its trip to outstation. I usually sent it for a car wash before I reached home. But this time round I didn't do the usual. So the only thing that I could do was to wash it myself before my husband nags me for 'only know how to use it but don't know how to clean it'. That's his favorite statement. But I did it simply..just sprayed it with water, then washed it with the car shampoo. Then just sprayed the water again to get rid of the shampoo. Done! Have a look at May. She has recovered. I don't need to put bandage for her anymore.I just wash the area clean with dettol. But she's rather clean as she only 'makes business' at a particular place so that they don't mess up the place. She is lying near the entrance whereas Teddy is on the other side of the compound beside the car.

Nothing and nowhere special. We just went to the same eatery, The MovenPeak. This was my seafood rice noodles. Delicious: up to my taste as it's not too salty
