我要到纽约Central Park跑步去！

刚才在吃饭的时候脑海里忽然飘过这个想法。

一想到明年计划要到纽约玩就很兴奋！

虽然这个计划不一定能成，可是我还是期待它能成行。

这个想法会闪过我的脑海大概事因为我“年轻”的时候看过Bride's war、Enchanted等等的电影吧。。。

还有很多其他不同的电影也都在这里取景啊~~~

电影都把它拍得好美。。。

曲家瑞也说过她为了一个男生而在那里跑步。。。

不懂为什么就想要到那里跑步+野餐吧。。。

趁着午餐时间把这个写下来，又是回到现实的时候咯。

520 MOM

When I saw those posts on 520 on my FB wall, 

I realized that it was such a coincident!!

Because I purposely drove my mom to Genting for a lunch!!! 

Before you judged that it was luxurious to go to Genting for a lunch,
*indeed, it takes a lot of effort*

it was because my mom had a voucher for two person for an abalone meal. 

Considering that it'll take around 3 hours of driving back and forth, 

my mom was asking if this is costing too much effort for a voucher as well. 

She doesn't feel quite right to do that but I told her that it was fine. 

This is because I realized that I have been very busy with my own stuff and I didn't have time to accompany her at all. Before I have my active private practice and Olivia's presence, 

I'll at least go out with her in the weekend either for lunch or for grocery shopping. 

But as things get busier while she's tired from taking care of Olivia during the day,

she rarely wants to go out at night and we don't have the common free time as well. 

Honestly, I was too lazy and tired to go out as well. 

Therefore, I thought that it would be a great idea as well. 

Coincidentally, I have no clients today after 10am.
As much as I hope to be busier!

But I guess God planned this for us.
It seems that everything worked out by itself and off we went to Genting for the abalone meal!

Grilled mushroom

Chicken soup

My mom was cutting the abalone diligently making sure that it doesn't "fly" off her plate and warn me to do the same. ;p

Look at the abalone!!! 

First time in my life to taste such a big abalone all by myself!

IT's delicious although a lil too salty for me, it was very chewy too!

That's why my mom had difficulty in chewing them...

Dessert: Red bean mochi

Even though it was not a planned celebration, 

but I'm grateful that I did something special with her. =)

Pre-mother's day celebration with my sister and my mom at Chakri Palace in KLCC!
It's Thai food!

Fast & Furious 8 & First Outing with my Colleague!!!

Yesterday was the very first time that I head out to a mall with a colleague after working for a year and 8 months++ in this company.

By the way, I also got a new "roommate/room-colleague" recently. Therefore, we have more time to have some conversation and there were more interaction between us. Somehow, we got closer and probably the very first friend I make in in this job. I guess probably it's because she's open to a weirdo like me.

*On the side note, she said that she's a weirdo too!*

We have been talking about watching a movie together since she has this GSC credit card that offers discounted price tickets. TO my surprise, even movie tickets on a Friday night is eligible for discount!

It was such a great deal!

While deciding on what movie to watch, I thought maybe we can do Fast & Furious 8 since I have been wanting to watch but I just didn't get the right time to watch it.

Finally, we went last Friday night and we both enjoyed it!

Despite the fact that my brother told me not to watch it with high expectation, it was better than I thought it would be.

I think I kinda know how the story line of fast & furious series go, so I did manage to guess what was going to happen and it did go according to what I have anticipated.

Therefore, I guess the fact that they have decided to stop this series at 10 might actually be a good idea. 

By the way, it's heart warming when they choose to remember Paul Walker by naming the baby boy Brain. =)

The healing effect of saying goodbye

I guess I am not good and not used to saying goodbye...

I hate it when I have to say goodbye formally making it as if we are not going to meet each other forever...

When I was younger, we used to have farewell parties for friends furthering their studies abroad, when people leave a work place and or leave to work somewhere else and etc...

I never felt good when I'm saying goodbye in farewell parties...

However, I experienced something different this time round.

I went to the gym as usual the other day and this high school friend goes to the same gym and we often say hi when we meet in the gym...

Otherwise, we don't really keep it touch or meet outside of the gym..

Yet, the feeling of seeing someone familiar when I go to the gym does bring a certain degree of comfort to me...

At least I don't feel that I'm all alone...

I am a slow to warm up person, so despite I have been going to the same gym for more than a year now, I didn't make any friends.

Back to what I want to share, my friend approached me after the class and told me that she's leaving the coming Friday to New York for two years because of her work. 

As much as I was surprised since it was a sudden news, I felt "good" after hearing it despite it was a goodbye. 

I felt good because she took the time to tell me that she's leaving Malaysia and will be in NYC for two years. She didn't have to tell me really, but I really appreciate her taking the effort to tell me a simple goodbye. 

We didn't even have time to have dinner before she left!

But I guess that's the beauty of saying goodbye and it reminds me of how nice if all of us get to say a short, simple, and sweet goodbye to the people we love before we leave this world so that people who are left "behind" in this world get to heal from the lost. 

Sadly, the truth is we rarely get to saying this simple goodbye in a calm way. Rather, a lot of us left this world unexpectedly or denying that we are leaving while the people who are left behind are left with nothing but reminiscent of the happy times as well as sad moments. 

Finally, I hope that all is well for her in New York and I did propose to my friend that let's visit NYC then. I have never really planned on going to NYC for a trip, so does my friend. 

Throughout my life, I have always knew that I will visit Europe one day. But life seems to disagree with it and would like me to visit NYC before Europe and I have decided to just go with the flow and grab whatever travel opportunity that arise.
