Post 56 ~ Coincidence

It was just an coincidence, hubby and I came to Little Red Cube at Puteri Harbour. It was similar like Straits Quay, Penang. Restaurants, cafes and bistro, you may enjoy the food, while having the beautiful scenes of sailboats and emerald seas.

Unfortunately, we were there at the late hour. The sky is darkening with cloudy weather. I don't think I can have nice pictures on the scenes. I was discussing with hubby, may be next time, we can have nice meet up with friends over there.

After the sea scene, we were trying to walk towards Little Red Cube, we found a shop <Superhero>. It was quite interesting. It can be a fashion boutique, which selling clothing and accessories. It can be a café where you can grab a cup of coffee. It can be a mini museum with all the superhero collections. The best part was, everyone is allowed to take pictures inside the shop. That's the cool part!

 

 

 

This is the mini café I was mentioning inside the shop

When we were about to leave the shop, we saw something which was shocking us!!!

Let give it a GUESS!!! What was it?

Ta da da da!!! Hello Kitty Land! The place I'm stepping, was their accessory shop.

Never thought that Hello Kitty Land is just there only. We are always thinking Hello Kitty Land just next to LEGOLAND. And we were wrong.

Still remember, me and Jacq were so into cat characters. Hello Kitty is one of them.We were so excited that Hello Kitty Land was coming to Malaysia, we wish to plan a trip there someday. Let us have some warm up with some pictures ya....

Post 55 ~ Dropping by only... Kota Iskandar Johor

I am been here in Kulai for almost 5 months.

Time is cruel, it flies without our notice.

Frankly speaking, I have not much chance to explore Johor or cuti-cuti Johor even.
It been many times I asked hubby, "Lokong, any place can go lepak in Johor?"
Hubby will replied me with, "Nothing lor.... Just nothing special here lor..."

Hmmmm.... In fact, hubby not the first one who answered with nothing.
I did thrown the same question to my partner and HR personnel, who is local to make any recommendation.
What a disappointed feedback from locals, Johor really has nothing to explore.

Thank God. I have a hubby who is very much into photography.
Photographer loves to explore.
Photographer also loves to discover places where is good for his/her hobby.

And here we are on this lovely Saturday ~ Kota Iskandar.

As my habit, I used to Google the place before I actually there in person.
There are so many amazing pictures were shown at Google.
I was actually looking forward for the trip, hopefully to get some beautiful sunset pictures from there.

But, it was too early to be excited for the place.
As hubby told, it might be due to poor maintenance, environment and building structure wasn't nice as those days.

Hopefully what I witnessed with my eyes doesn't spoilt my pictures oh!



Cloudy evening

Sun set in HDR version

We were driving and going around the park.
Nothing was impressed, but we managed to capture the beautiful sunset.
I am still having my unprocessed sun setting pictures in my camera.
I am keep asking myself why?

Why I am still keeping my pictures unprocessed?
Why I still don't upload my pictures to FB?

It that a sign of losing interest on photography?

Part 54 ~ Passed

When I was writing this post, I am a confirmed staff for the company.
I am now entitled for 'precious' 12 days of Annual Leave.
I am also entitled for 'priceless' 16 days of Sick Leave.

I was having a private session with Mrs Manager.
She was announcing the 'good' news to me personally with the confirmation letter which was signed by my Mrs VP.

I really don't know how to describe my feeling when I was getting this news.
The feeling was quite complicated, it was mixture of everything.
I can say, this is the very first time, I was feeling nothing when I was being confirmed by a company I worked with.
I didn't feel happy or excited, or even satisfied or motivated.

During the private session, Mrs Manager was giving me a chance that our neighbour, Mr Claims Manager was offering me a post due to my working experience, as I know, their business is growing, and there is a big client on the way.

To be frank, I don't like Claims department.
The department is just too unfriendly to me as a outsider.

For the past 3 months, I was happily working with my partner and my SG colleagues.
At this moment, I don't feel like changing department is a good move for me.
Most important, I am actually applying job else where.
It won't serve any purpose if I decide to change department.

So..... right now.... I just sit back and wait... Wait for the call!

Post 53 ~ Trying to be busy over the weekend

It was a tough week, although workload still manageable, but psychologically and mentally was bad. It was torturing. I am so desperate for a distress programme or activity.

Being a newbie in the company which is still under probation period, it is super-duper difficult and I could say impossible for me to have vacation or holiday right now.

As my manager told me previous week, due to my Unpaid Leave application over the two months, I am under 'watch' list. My three month probation period will be due on 11th February 2015. Throughout her experiences in the company, there is no such thing as Probation Period Extension. Either you are failed or passed the probation period, no other chances will be given.

Meaning, I might be sacked from the company due to my so-called 'bad performance'. Those days I was taking Urgent Leaves due to mom had having bad health condition which really required someone to take care of her at home. How can I be cruel and leave my sick mom at home alone just because of my probation period?

May be I am not that fortunate to have other siblings / family members or rich enough to employ a maid / private nurse to look after her at home for her ADLs. But as I know, I have only ONE mom, no one can reply or duplicate her. If company is really that cold blooded, I think I won't mind to have sack from the company!

Anyhow, hubby managed to arrange some activities over the weekend. Still, I am 'allowing' him to go for his birding in the morning while I was having my morning walk with mom. During these period, those foot swollen (due to Gout attack and infection) and shoulder dislocation, we have to limit her mobility of her affected limbs. And I am glad that, mom has came out from it slowly. She was so happy to see the morning sun too.


Although we were slow, but doesn't matter, better than not walking at all.




You will be surprised to see all these beautiful stuffs during our walk.

I do believed, morning walk is good for us, especially to the elderly person. moving their stiff joints, getting fresh air, getting sun bath for Vitamin D.... etc. And I feel so good after the session.
