MyBagSpa Melbourne Handbag Cleaning

Just in time to come in here before New Year comes! I haven't given up on this blog yet so yeah, I'm back!!

Back to May where I stopped... Just kidding! It's going to be a long post if I do that, so I'm just going to feed in bits by bits from today onwards. 2010 is coming and what is your resolution of the year? Beat up your Boss; burn down your company or something greater like travelling, buying your favourites or maybe striving for your better career? Anything it is, I wish all of you with best of luck, smooth-sailing year ahead and best health of course!

I better update some vital information in here so that next year starts clean in here! This few months, I’ve did a lot of things – my pace increases rapidly before it gets slower these few days. Just a summary...

I went back to Malaysia (happily)…
- Busy with arranging the setup of MyBagSpa (my new business in Melbourne)
- Met up with friends (though I can’t get to meet them all)
- Party (whenever I can – can’t miss it!)
- Enjoyed the prince life at home (with all my beloved nephews and niece)
- Travel (between Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Johore)
- Attending weddings (so many of them)
- Fell in love (then fall out of love)
- Ate the best food in Johore (with Kid, En and Poly who became fat after that)
- Drove my best buddies and family around town (with my Brother’s favourite Estima)
- Had fun
- And many more…

Then I came back to Melbourne (sadly yet excited)…
- Set up MyBagSpa retail store (which suck up all my cash on hand)
- Busy with the ‘small’ grand opening (a successful one)
- Attending to my friends and family who came over to Melbourne to attend the ‘small’ grand opening of my shop (though I’m always with my family and didn’t have the chance to company all of you when you are here - Gabriel, Lin, Kanny, Elilia, Vincent and Jacey, I appreciate your coming!)
- Went around Victoria (travel around with my families and thanks Slivia since I can’t do that at all if you are not here)
- Busy moving to a new place (setting up and buying new furniture for my new home, thanks Sihan with all the help you put in)
- Busy touring my family, Sihan, Slivia and Cindy (and realized that being a tour guide sucks!)
- Then going to boutiques to introduce MyBagSpa (got positive feedbacks from all of them because I’ve got a great partner David, Great!)
- Busy with my customer’s bags (Many of them on the first month, and got slower now since most Melbournians went holiday!)
- And least but not last, sitting here to greet all of you again (since my pace have finally slow down!)

Free Time

I was holding a D-SLR camera posturing to take some nice scenery, adjusting the shutter speed and aperture to make sure the colour balances, and the results were fabulous, exactly like a pro. I was glad and contented, so out for more excitement, I lifted my hand close to my eyes and look through the camera for more shots. The next moment I open my eyes, I saw my hands sticking to my face, and I saw the ceiling of my room and yeah, exactly like a pro in my dream.

I know I misses my camera, I haven’t been taking pictures with my baby D-SLR for a while and the urge to play with it again reacted naturally while I'm asleep. As I haven’t got chance to organize outings, I decided to bring my baby along with me to a casual Karaoke session. It was a risk since I might wreck it or misplace it if I'm drunk! Well, it turn out okay, I got myself wasted that night, but my baby is still in one piece, I didn’t lose it but I lost the lens cover in the end!! Damn, when it comes to unexpected outcome!!!! Not very happy the next day even though I have an extra lens cover.

So, happily I’ve got some updated photos to share in here this time… It was Wilson’s birthday party in New Square Karaoke on last Saturday night, and I was encouraged to bring my baby along to freeze some happy moments. Since I’ve got free time, I edited some nice ones with Photoshop~

Anyway it's late now and got to get up early for work tomorrow again. So, I’m going to bed soon…

Once I got into the Karaoke room, I caught hold of Christine and took a few close-up so I can adjust the settings to suit the room lightings. I think it's just me, I'll try a few shots but the first one is always the best. Yeah, so happy Christine got another photo to add into her personal portrait album.

As usual when it comes to birthday party, a cake is an important complement to the birthday person. And when it comes to my blog space, it is vital to let you know that it's not that easy to capture a nice warm photo with candlelight lightings. Indirectly, I became an important complementary person as well!

Something that I realized after seeing this photo the next day, I can't remember the taste of this cake. After thinking it twice, I finally remember that the cake was divided equally among everyone but one piece sat on the table for sometime - I thought it was an extra one. Since no one claims it, it end up to be the most desperate cake at the end of the day.

After taking blardy heaps of shots of it, I totally forgotten that this piece was mine!! See what I mean? It's desperate - "EAT ME!!!!" and I really want to try it...

This scene is when my nightmare begins, I'm not going to explain the rules of this "Bing Bang" game since I drank like 5 glasses after people bang me.

And this is what happen, I've got too shy after drinking up all the alcohol in the room.

Below are some of the random nice photos I took throughout the party... Click 'on black' to enjoy the best effect~ ^ ^

Night~!

Plus 1 Every Day

I plan, organize, prepare, schedule, arrange and set up for the change each day and I am counting. Today is 15th of May, when 15 of May plus 65 days come - I’ll be up in the sky sipping wine on the way back to Malaysia. The feeling this time is different, and I’m still unsure what it is – confidence, pressure, excitement, nervous, faith, happiness or fear? I have no idea, and it might be all in one!

For now, it’s plus 1 everyday. Anyway enjoy Friday!

Not the Same

It’s the 5th month of 2009 and things haven’t been the same. I still remember I had this conversation with a friend during the beginning of 2009, he told me ‘Gimmo, I feel things will be different for me in 2009’ and what he meant was, he felt that 2009 will be a great year in comparison to the previous years he had. Although I have no idea how great 2009 will be for him and how bad was his past experience deep inside, I definitely feel the excitement gushing out of him over that time. In fact, not under his influence, I had this similar feeling even before he bring up the conversation. Something true about me is that I’m a dull person in nature and I’m not that kind of a person who look forward to a coming new year – the approach of Millennium years ago doesn’t excite me at all proves it.

Things haven’t been the same, I don’t wake up in the morning lazing on the bed no more, and I’ll wake up, look forward to the day sincerely, do what needs to be done, meet up friends and fully utilize each day.

Things haven’t been the same, I don’t look forward to weekend parties, and I feel contented catching up with some true friends and talk about simple stuffs.

Things haven’t been the same, not forgetting my plan, I devote myself into my job during work hours, learn everything I can learn and research on everything I need to know.

Things haven’t been the same, the takings of 2009 is unique, feels like a motivated kid trying to build the best sand castle on the beach out of his very own will to achieve satisfaction.

Things haven’t been the same, the fright of being alone when I’m sick has left me, I grew stronger, rather than thinking I need someone here to take care of me during the worst flu, I abandon that idea and accept the fact that I’m an independent patient, I do what I need to do.

Things haven’t been the same, 4 months had passed and I’m still going on with my best effort and time is not wasted, 4 months feels much longer than any other 4 months I had, the best thing is I’m feeling greater!

Things haven’t been the same, the sentence ‘action speaks louder than words’ finally got enlightened in my brain, a powerful mouth with a powerful brain without action brings vain at the end of the day. Life is not about how many times you success but how long you can maintain that particular success and how you improve on that success - I’m not talking about success, I’m still with the sentence ‘action speaks louder than words’.

But, some things are the same - today is Friday and still, TGIF because I’ve done all my work and I’ll be having a paid leave in office which mean I’m blardy free yet still have to sit in the office looking busy. So now, I’m doing some unimportant yet work related yet have to look as if it’s the most important task for the day. And I also have the concentrated and stressed frowning look as if I am extremely unapproachable and super hardworking. Life is tough!!
