MEOW.....

I totally forgot about our yearly travel plans with the 3M-ers. This year we were to head to Kuching, Sarawak for a shopping and eating session. The ticket was bought a year ago hence forgetting about it is absolutely normal. Hectic at it was.. I still had fun. It was 1st weekend Kuching, 2nd weekend Perhentian and then after Port Dickson for company off site meeting.

Upon arrival at beautiful Kuching, we checked in at the Hilton (thanks for 50% discount) and then went around strolling the city, buying layer cakes of different assortment and then the next morning, shopping at the borders of indonesia! Absolutely fun!

Black & White days

My dearest grandma (dad's mom) left us last Wednesday to be in a better place. It has been a stressful and tiring few weeks every since grandma gotten in a stroke about 2 months ago. She then suffered a second stroke and was too weak to even eat. She held on staying strong for a long time and alas, after so many weeks, she let go. Everyday i keep saying to myself that it was for the better, she isn't suffering anymore. Which is true. After the cremation ceremony, the family headed home to her place to start the "family wars" where gold & money were taken out and distributed based on my grandmother's wishes. As usual, when it comes to money.. everyone changes. Sigh. 

While looking through my grandma's closet we found a box filled with old school pictures that brought back a lot of smiles in everyone's faces. Here are some pictures i found funny, cool, exciting, freaky or at least moved me a bit.

The 5 legged cow. Apparently my family saw a distorted cow and took a picture of it. Grandma developed it to keep in one of her albums. 

The family picture.. My grandpa & grandma, their 3 sons (one of which is my father) and 2 daughters.

One of my ancestor. The old school nyonya pictures. I was shocked to discover this is a lady. 

Another ancestor... This one i found it freaky.. Like those haunted ghost movies

Following below,  i found a whole bunch of pictures of my Grandfather & uncle practicing some kung fu and Tai-Chi thing. I asked my dad and aunts and they acknowledged that my uncle used to be a master while my grandpa an instructor. How cool is that? 

 Here is a pic of my grandpa during his younger days with the "mantis" stance

 A pic of Uncle and grandpa..

 My uncle used to also dance the "REAL" lion dance.

 Uncle posing.. lol 

 Grandpa in his Tai-Chi / Chi Kung

 Whole gang fighting / practicing. C'est tres COOLIOS!!

Maybe it explains why i love all these sort of sports.. As a kid, Karate and Taekwando.. and today.. Capoeira. Waachaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! 

Akasha Round 2011

Again i blog about my dear Canadian sisters, Akasha. My first full on French speaking girl friends i met 3 years ago when they had their first debut here in Malaysia. 

This time when they came.. we had slightly a little more time to spend with each other than the past. A whole month! And it had to be the month when i was busy with work and activities.But we managed to spend time still.. more than the last time.. 

This year we had loads of fun at the Sky Trex at Shah Alam with Kevin and Anh Tuan together,, meaning i was surrounded by native French speakers...as usual.. 

Another fun session..This time SKY TREX

After the trex session we went back to shower and change and had dinner and then off to Sky Bar for drinks. The topic of the whole night was basically the difference in accents and pronunciation and street words between the French people and the Canadian French speaking community. Hence.. I was totally lost! Yet had loads of fun!! 

Not only the girls are taken even the boys are..I WAS THE ONLY SINGLE SOUL THERE

Missing you all already! 

 During thier last performance in Malaysia, I was totally lost as non of my friends wanted to go but it was their last night so i dragged Urko along..Which was major fun.. 2 people clubbing and i didn't even need to drive! 

Thanks Urko for accompanying me to Zeta

 The girls were all out in their performance that night... and after the water.. it was all alcohol all night!! 

Akasha's last performance for 2011 in Malaysia

 And a crazy night to continue.....

This is a super drunk moment

Aren't you a lucky boy Urko

The groups last day i managed to rush there in time to send my goodbyes!! 

Bon Voyage!!!!

Chilling in my sister Izabelle's room..she was happy with her new shoes

Special love to my dear sis Izabelle!! HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYyyyyyyyyyy......BISOUSSSS

Birthday Awesomeness

28 years of my life has passed as I celebrated it with an awesome blast starting 1 week early. As my birthday falls on the 11th, I decided to buy my ticket to Manila to participate in EBC Philippines Batizado so i could experience it and also visit my capoeira family there.

The whole trip was awesome and i would say best self birthday gift I've ever gotten for myself so far.

The trip started with the awesome gang waiting for us outside the arrival hall.. at 6aM. We had awesome Afro Brazillian workshop, Capoeira workshops and Rodas... and also OMG the food!! It was soo delicous.. but i think i had a pork overload this trip which caused me to gain 2 KG.

Here you see the 2 visitors from different places, EBC Bacolod and the guest from Malaysia after the presentations and games we played at the Dojo.

Here is after a scrumptious meal (again) with my Nike Operations Teammates from Manila.

The Brasilian night party, Brasillipinas was a major blast! (As you can see Havaianas provided too many free drinks hence the red face)

We even have a photo booth to fool around with. Basically with 4 days of capoeira but 5 meals a day i gained 2 KGs.

Back in Malaysia, I celebrated my birthday mostly at the office and finishing work around 730PM and heading straight for my birthday dinner which i arranged in Mont Kiara. The team was sweet enough to get me my very own custom made cake written "Selamat Desolee" which meant Wishing you sorry! hahahaha.. Why you may ask.. It's cause i always say Desolee soo much it became my nickname. (Selamat = Bahasa Malaysia, Desolee = French)

My very own personalized cake! :)

Flowers from Nadja :) First time for everything :P

Beautiful bag from Wen Dee which i was very happy she turned up for the birthday dinner

Another present from Nadja:- 27th March - The day will start for you at Traders Hotel Spa followed by Brunch at the pool with champagne and end with shoulder massage.. I can't wait!!

My most chinese gift ever from the French group!!! The team got me a nice gold necklace written in chinese stating, "Good Health or Healthy Body" Something like that (got it translated from a friend). This is something i will keep for life :)

The team also made me a booklet of messages from all my close friends on each individual page. I cried happy tears everytime i read them.

Of course, a HUGE birthday card from the team. Ahh i love them soo much! :)

Tony was sweet enough to fold me my very own personalized rose from Hilton tissues :)

And my girls got me a session which i am also very very much looking forward to!! Much love!!

All in all, this is the first birthday after 10 years i think with NO DRAMA at LAST!! The curse is broken!
