Went to a social meeting recently and I felt Mr A is not listening to what I am speaking. When we met the second time in Takashimaya after MBS. He did not recommend his friend to me, what an awkward situation. standing in front me while introducing his friend Mr L to CCY. Mr L approached me and speak to me instead.
Although is relatively negligible action but I guess my attendance seems to be not appreciated.I strongly believe that I am a very sensitive person. Especially with people's emotion.
Maybe because I have got no use to him.
There are things I have learned from today's meeting is that. Do not force into a relationship. It will only bring you hardship in order to nurture it.
I need to shift my mindset, choose my friend carefully.
Focus on what I have got.

Parents in SG 2/10-5/10
So they are here again after my one week off for KK, KL and Penang.
But this time round, I am working on my day shift.They reached here on a Friday late afternoon, they checked in themselves in V Hotel at Lavender and meet up with Jenny in Bugis around 630pm.
I went to join them immediately after work for dinner. Aunty Michelle was there as well. We had our dinner at Crystal Jade Ramen. The moment I sat down with my family, I felt that my mum was a lot more open to Jenny this time round. Somehow, she started conversation with Jenny on her own. Grateful.
After our meal, we then walked around bugis, I brought them to shopping for a while at BHG. We then walked across the road for Ah Chew Dessert. After our dessert, we called it a day, and I went home for rest.
Day 2- Saturday
I went to work, while auntie Michelle accompanied my parents to Hearing aid to fix my dad's hearing aid. after fixing, I met up with them at Takashimaya. After oru usual free coffee at Nespresso counter, we went to the food court below and had sit down for a light meal. We bought north Indian meal and shared amongst ourselves. My Aunt excused herself while we were starting to eat our meal.
After our meal, we took a cab to Sentosa casino.
we ended our gambling session around 12 o clock.
Day 3- Sunday
Went out with Jenny for breakfast at Novena. Meet my parents around 1pm Raffles city nam nam. I guess they are getting better in coordinating and location places in Singapore. Basically, it has become a norm that my parents could somehow locate a place without a gps which I am very impressed with.
After we met up, I brought them for a meal in Spizza at capitol. My mum liked their chicken wings very much and felt that it was value for money. Jenny got one for one on the pizza. So the meal was heavily discounted. My aunt joined us half way and I installed fit bit on my mum's phone.
After our meal, we went to Suntec new wing to do window shopping. After our shopping session, I brought them to toast box for a coffee session. My aunt was particularly happy about the coffee session. She brought out bread she bought and shared with us.
We then went Giant to shop for a while, bought some bananas.our all the groceries shopping. we took MRT to Tanjong Pagar for Super Star K.Luckily it was a Sunday, the queue in Super Star K wasn't long.
We enjoyed the meal very much especially when we got Makgeolli. It comes with all the Korean appetizer, kimchi, vegetables and crispy anchovies. We also ordered steamed egg, crispy seafood pancake. On top of that we also ordered 3 kinds of meat. So I ordered pork neck, beef ribs and pork belly. We were rather full after we finished all the food on the table.
Mum mentioned that we should order one less meat next time.
I am very grateful to be able to spend such quality time with my family.. Thanks for coming to Singapore to accompany me. Love you all.
We were discussing to plan our next holiday to west Malaysia on our next trip.
PS: Places to bring my parents there next time.

Story of a Muah Chee
When I was driving in Penang, heading to Kek Lo Si.
I was stuck in a traffic jam when I was looking for a car park at the Ayer Hitam in front of the market. When i somehow saw a parking space, immediately I saw an uncle near to my car waving at me, directing me into the parking space. I guess he waved 3 times and then ran towards the place I parked my car.
When I alight from my car, he asked RM3.00 from me, which I felt obliged to give as he looked old, filthy and poor. Not giving him make me felt like I am the worse demon in Penang.
From the time I saw him till he collected his Rm3.00, I would suggest is probably less than 10 seconds.
So technically, he earns RM3.00 in less than 10 seconds.
The story didn't end here.
After I parked my car, I started to look for some Penang delicacy and saw an uncle selling Muah Chee on his old modified motorcycle with an old banner hanging.
The uncle was sweating because of the heat from his motorcycle, he was also constantly stirring his homemade Muah Chee. When I approached him, I asked if he would let me try first before I place an order with him.
After trying his Muah Chee, I even asked if the Muah Chee could be heated up so that my friends could enjoy the Muah Chee. In a split second, I somehow become a Muah Chee critics, tasting Muah Chee in a michelin star restaurant.
However, I dropped all my judgement when he said Rm3.00 for a packet as he reminded me of the previous RM3.00 I have spent or gave away a few minutes ago.
Same RM3.00 but different amount of work/expectation.
In life, it is not about the amount of work we have put in but is the amount of value that we could deliver. Focus on the latter instead.
Larger amount of work not necessarily equal to the amount of value we could deliver.
Wrapping up my September 2015
I went home for a few days between 22/9-25/9.
Met up with family, relatives and friends.
Met Michael- Videographer.
Met Darlene- Coordinator for the TAH
Aligned with Shaun.
Bought dad's staff lunch.
Chatted with Quah till 3am int he morning. He told me about how his peninsular wife settling down in Sabah.
Left KK in a hurry. I didn't catch up with my parents well this time round. I guess because they are busy with their work while I am busy with my preparation.
Flew to KL on the 25/9 with Teo. We took the same flight, although we were arranged to sit apart, however, the flight was half empty, so I asked Teo to join me. he slept throughout the journey.
I had a burger in the flight which cost me about RM 15.00 which makes me ponder how I could afford this burger if I am working in Malaysia.
I read a magazine in the plane which I bought for my younger brother's vision board Learned more about the property's insight in Malaysia and decided to subscribe when I reach Singapore.
Upon reaching KL, Mau brought us to a pub near his place to chill with his mates.I remember one of his friends is called Tony Leong. Exactly the same name as the Hong Kong Actor.
We bought a few rounds which cost us around RM500.00. Mau bought overpriced fruits too from a young lady from Sandakan. Of course, Teo fell for her. Kept mentioning that her facebook profile picture was beautiful. I ignored him initially as she wasn't that gorgeous. However, after Teo showed me her Facebook profile picture, which he somehow managed to obtained, I must say she got one hot profile picture. But that is all about it.
On the second day in KL, we went to Bangsar South Vertical to check on a property for sale. The landlord owns 3 units together with her brother. She brought us around in the building and showed us the property. It was selling at about 1k per square foot. Rental was about 4.8 psf./month. The occupancy of the entire development is currently at 20%. According to Mau, it will take years to filled up the development with tenants.
After our brief visit of the property, Tony bought us starbucks opposite to wrap it up.
Wilson joined us, and off we go to Penang for Shannon's wedding.
Wilson is very into Melbourne and had submitted his PR application for Australia. He is planning to do a cleaning franchise business in Melbourne. He wanted to start his life over again for the sake of his next generation.
We reached Penang around 6pm. checked in to a huge house. 11 of us stayed in the house, although not all of us are together at one time, some checked in earlier, some checked out earlier. Apart from the air bed, I guess our accommodation this time round was value for money. At least, air cond is cold, and hot water is hot.
We went for a nyonya dinner, and of course supper before we call it a day.
On the 2nd day, we went for toast breakfast in a famous restaurants. After our meal, Xiao Yun's friend brought us to Ayer Hitam asam laksa.
After all our meals, we then prepare ourselves for Shannon's garden ceremony. It was held on green by the beach with nice weather and parachute as background. I met a few old mates. After their wedding vow and kiss. We did a photograph session together with the newly wed.
It wasn't long, until the dinner starts, I guess is less than 20 tables, and it was very simple and pleasant.
Adrian delivered a wonderful best man's speech.
The gathering was a great one.
