the bittersweet symphony of life

Goodbye

Posted by: Yenli on: 28 June, 2010

It has been a good 6 years…

For it is now time to be independent, to be on my own…

But why won’t you allow it? Why do you have to melt and keep on holding onto my glass oh-so tightly?

Putrajaya’s Night Marathon

Posted by: Yenli on: 7 February, 2010


After only a couple of trainings (read: 2), the day finally came where we needed to brave through Putrajaya’s Night Marathon.


Vomit. Diarrhea. Abdomen pain. Lol. After god-knows-how-many-years-of-not-exercising, the bf experienced a gastric-like symptoms for a whole week, just a week or so before the actual thing.


Introducing a new face in my blog. My colleague, Mior who just has the habit of wearing shirts the other way round.


My marathon kaki, Vern hard at work. It has been almost a year since Vern and I went for our first marathon. Degraded from 10km to 7.7km this year. She’s feeling rather pumped up to beat KY in this due to his exercising-after-effects.


We only had bananas and cookies for dinner since the race was scheduled at 9pm.


Luckily parking spaces were aplenty to accommodate the huge amount of people present.


Also present were the usual marathon people like Yenson, Mao, Quek and the rest. Siao lang, Yenson participated in the full marathon (42 km) run.

Before the start of marathon, we found out Vern’s unique style of swimathon (inside joke) which made us go hysterical. A very good warm-up indeed.

When the gunshot sound was heard, we spent a couple of minutes WALKING to the starting line due to the swarm of kiasu people ahead of us.


KY, who never once stopped jogging during the whole run had to follow my pathetic pace which involved a lot of walking towards the end. Yea, so imagine how slowly he needed to jog to ‘catch-up’ with me, walking. But this has also made me cut short all my walking duration due to guilt. So, hand in hand, we made it passed the finishing line in 1 hour 5 minutes woots! Got cert no medal though.


Vern definitely did not put any emonemo songs into her playlist as she managed to reach not long after, beating QUEK WEE SIONG!!! Oh gosh. I’m so proud for the both of us lol.


Followed by Mior who beat us during the training. Hardeeharhar.


KY with his snack.


RM10 fee. Two drink stations. Free flow of 100 Plus and Milo. Snack. Two fingers up!


Vern’s fav…cause she looks the thinnest here.

Oh did I tell you it’s my first time going to Putrajaya? Imma visit it again some other day because it’s so beautiful!!! Took a couple of pictures before making many many rounds trying to get out of that place.

Murni Discovery

Posted by: Yenli on: 31 January, 2010

Last night, while driving along LDP, we decided to hunt for the newly opened branch of SS2 Murni at Sunway Mas. With directions given by the dad, it did not take to long to find this…

Photobucket

It’s situated along Jalan PJU1/3b. Plenty of parking space available since it’s a pretty quiet area.

And for me, the best part is….

Photobucket

…THERE ARE MENUS AVAILABLE!!!

Photobucket

Save people a lot of hassle figuring what they served at Murni. Everything are reasonably priced.

Photobucket

He does not need a menu cause the oh-so-famous claypot loh shu fun is all he ever does order. I’m not a very loh shu fun person but this is the best I’ve tasted so far (imagine only trying out 3 different places wtf). They were very generous with the minced chicken. Also, there’s an additional of two prawns. Apparently, something the SS2 branch doesn’t offer. RM5 only!

Photobucket

My glass of mocktail called “I Love You”. A mixture of soda, lemon, ribena and longan. A bit too sweet. RM5/glass

Photobucket

Honeydew special medium size. Though one of my favourite fruit is honeydew, I just can’t seemed to be able to drink honeydew juice. It just doesn’t seemed right. Banana juice also cannot accept. RM5/glass

Photobucket

That’s the boss of Murni!

Photobucket

So much nicer and cleaner and more systematic (and nearer to my house) than the other branch. I foresee myself dropping by here more often :)

Random picture of the day:

Photobucket

This is how I torture Kin Yan. Not only I embarrassed him in a major shopping complex during peak time, I post this up for everyone to see. Jangan marah ya. *hearts*

Eat-shit-sleep post…

Posted by: Yenli on: 24 January, 2010

… just because it has been awhile since I last did one :)

So, this morning, after knowing that Mior actually ran 10km, I quickly gathered my gears and head straight to the gym’s treadmill, in preparation for Putrajaya’s Night Marathon happening on the 6th of February. Kiasu-ism kicks the fat ass.

The last time I actually ran was last April.  Totally died after only 4km. It’s ok. I still have time!

Then, the day continued with loads of Chinese New Year cookies! 7 people, 3 different types of cookies, 2 ovens and whole lots of fun all put in together.

Do you not feel the mood yo? 3 more weeks to my fav <3 festival of the year!

Later on, went to visit the sick bf who has had diarrhea and vomiting after meals for a week already.

He is so gonna see a doctor tomorrow, by hook or by crook.

Lastly, shopped for one hour at Pyramid with the family.

Today is a happy day. Lawlmover geddit geddit!
Sometimes I miss the lameness in life :)

Quarter-life crisis?

Posted by: Yenli on: 21 January, 2010

Last night, a random question was popped out to the bf which got me thinking too.

“What do you want in life?”

It’s been 9 months, 6 days since I started working. Who would have thought huh? Obviously not after the history I’ve made by quitting my first real job in like what…9 hours.

However in this 9 months, no doubt I’ve gained in various aspects, but it has also taken away many simple pleasures of  life which I once got to enjoy.

Sweet dreams, midnight phone calls that last for hours, lying on the bed listening to the sound of rain and a good one-to-one conversation to name a few. Sadly, all I do now when I’m not doing anything is just sleeping soundly like a pig.

Photobucket

But most importantly, it has taken away loads of  ‘ME’-time. Those who know me well, especially those who were stuck with me during those Semenyih’s day will know how much I NEED those ‘ME’-time. There will be like seasons of isolation where I need to reconnect back with my inner self. I don’t really know how to explain it la, so err…maybe someone could help me with it? I guess I just feel that I need to hang out with myself once in a while. Like I’ve said earlier, once there’s a chance now, I’ll be asleep. I’m such a boring person I bored myself to sleep now.

Ok where was I? Right. What I want in life?

I wasn’t thinking too far into the future like having gazillions babies and being a rich tai-tai playing mahjong everyday la.

Right now, I just want to have balance in life. Work, gym, friends, family, bf, mua. 24 hours a day minus 8 hours of sleep divided by 6 groups. 2.67 hours for each. At the moment, work took like 11 hours already T_T. Where to find time for the rest you tell me! Dahlah now bf and work must separate out. Boo.

Photobucket

I’m sorry I’m being a bitch although you most probably have longer working hours than me but this week I really felt tired mentally and physically. 4 days of work this week and I’ve already skipped work once and also went back home with unfinished tasks.

Changing point?

Photobucket

Guess money alone is still not a very good motivation.

(Inside joke: Blame me again! lol)
