Dawn Rising Sun

I think I am lucky, am I? Yes, I think so. Actually, I have three friends are planning to visit me from 1-May to 3-May, it is this weekend, just when SL leaves to US who departs on 1st of May, therefore I think I won't be lonely over this weekend, how lucky I am? From last year, Hisaka already told me that she would visit me during May of this year and I keep waiting for time come, so that we could meet again. When date comes closer, Hisaka told me that are another two friends will come along with her, Sachiko and Kyoko, this makes me even more excited, I haven't been seeing each other for nearly 4 years and now we can reunion again. Unfortunately I can't introduce them to my husband. I nearly forgot to introduce about Hisaka, Sachiko and Kyoko, they are friends who I met in Birminghom of UK, and they are from Japan. They were so kind and always waived away of my loneliness in foreign country, I was having happy time with all of them and we even went to several trips togeth...

From yesterday, I just couldn’t help to count down L, this is unpurposely as we promised each other no more count down, and just live our early remaining day happily. However, I still couldn’t stop thinking that SL is going to leave me next Friday, that means we only have 7 days left together. 1st of May, he will be leaving on this day, this is the day of our first meet back to three years ago, the day after my birthday, kind of meaningful date for us, but he will leave me on this day. Actually we did consider to be together forever one, I was thinking to leave my current job a month ago and leaving with him, I was so determined on the day and arranged the meeting with my manager’s manager (because he is the manager who hired me, so I think I need to let him first know when I am leaving), but once the meeting started he just told me so many advices on separation, then I just couldn’t help to tell him my decision, and I just changed my mind to stay alone. Also, he told me that he would ...

SL was going back to his hometown over the week, that means I was alone without him during these few days period, actually I felt I miss him a lot for this period. However, I felt that I am not totally alone by my own, as I still have a lot of friends with me, they are always be my support and I found that is not too difficult to stay alone without SL. During lunch time, I have SM, YH, WN, YC, FF, HY, BG and Kevin as my lunch companions, while YY, LE, MS, LP and SF always are with me as my dinner partners, I think I am really lucky for having such many good friends with me. And even breakfast and teabreak, I also have a gang of good friends be with me, HF, SM, YH, AS, ST, SS and Agnes :) I think these few days is for a demo for me before SL really leaves to US, and I think I could live easier than I thought, as I was worried if I really manage to live without SL. Thanks to all my friends for keeping me in touch, this made me found different with last separation in two years ago, I was ...

Today is a happy day, though SL is not around with me, I still had some good friends always be by my side, we had planned an advance birthday celebration for YY and I, attendees are LE, LP, MS, SF, of course YY and I. Our actual plan was meet at 7pm in Cherry Blossom, but YY, MS and I sudden planned for hiking at BJ, therefore we tried to postpone our dinner to 7:30pm. However, our hiking plan was dragged for around 10minutes and we only could arrive late to Cherry Blossom. While I walked into Cherry Blossom, I saw LP, SF and LE were there waiting for us, I was really sorry for our late arrival, but happy that they didn't take it in mind, you all are so nice to us :) During dinner, we were happily chatting, but I couldn't think out any birthday wishes when they asked about it because I was happy for this moment, maybe hope for have more meeting time with SL in the next 8-months-seperation :P Also, I hope YY, LE and SF could find their right guy soon, actually I always hope for ...

We didn't wake up too early on the second day in Cameron Highlands as we planned to enjoy ourselves with the hotel's environment, it was cold when I woke up in the morning, I just felt like in an air-conditioner room. After prepared ourselves, we went to restaurant for our buffet breakfast, well... it was just normal buffet as what we could get in other hotel. After we checked out from our hotel, I requested SL took some pictures for me with our hotel as background. After that, we just departed and heading to KL for my visa interview preparation, we took path directed to Tapah, that is another direction as we arrived from Penang, I was happy with this because we can experience another scenery while we were driving. And, we just found that is tea plantation on the way to KL, therefore we dropped by for a moment for taking some pictures and experience the amazing landmark of tea farm, it was really beautiful and SL especially liked it. There was a tea shop near to tea farm, and w...

11 April 2009, Saturday, SL and I woke up in early morning, as we planned to visit to Cameron Highlands, this is a short trip for my visa interview in KL as Cameron Highlands is just at the midway from Penang to KL. Therefore, we departed 2 days earlier of my visa interview appointment date. Finally, my hope to Cameron Highlands comes true, I kept talking to visit to Cameron Highlands for 2 years but we never planned for it, until now we planned this farewell trip before SL leaves. It took us around 4 hours to arrive to Cameron Highlands and we visited 2 farms at the middle to top of Cameran Highlands, I had bought my favourite cactus at the second farm, it sold at RM10 for 6 pots of cactus, I also bought a handle for my cactus, so that they could look more beautiful. I think their price is reasonable, but I am afraid if they can live longer, as I got some shadow from childhood, which I grew a cactus until die :( There are many farms in Cameron Highlands, this is the second visited far...

13th of April 2009, Monday, this is a day I had booked for my visa interview, I am applying for a L2 US visa, as spouse's visa of SL. However, situation becomes complicated when SL's previous visa hasn't expired yet and it will be valid until 1st of October of this year, therefore he doesn't need to apply a new visa until August, as US law only allow people apply/renew visa as early as 2 months before their visa expire. I booked a 9:20am time slot for my visa interview appointment, and we departed from our hotel (which is near to time square) at 8:30am after we took our breakfast, but I didn't expect KL traffic was such heavy jammed, we took much time on stuck at traffic jam and finding way. KL's traffic is so complicated to me, a lot of splits direct us to different destinations and map was useless at all, we were nearly taken a wrong route as in map, fortunately SL did the right judgement to get into correct path with alternative route. Finally, we got to Amer...

29th of March, another Sunday trip for SL and I, he promised me that he would try his best to make my every weekend with good memory. This is the day after Minsi's wedding, we were buying for our ingrediant for the week's cooking comsuption. After taking lunch at home, we departed to Georgetown for our Peranakan Mansion, we know this place through a Singapore drama, Little Nyonya, it is a really nice drama, we were attracted by the story few months ago. After that, I saw Minsi had her pre-wedding photo session there and all pictures are so beautiful to us. Later on, I saw Tian Hock's facebook photo at Peranakan Mansion, this grew my intention to visit this musuem. Peranakan Mansion actually was a house of rich Baba (female called as Nyonya), which built at the end of 19th century. When we were there, I found it is really a big house with a lot of rooms with specified functions usage, we also saw many collection from Baba cultural, like their China container. Actually, Baba-...
