Company Annual Bonus 2009 ~ Dissapointment!!!

For so many years of my service in my current company,almost reaching 6 years in March this year, i believe that i did performed well. My salary got increase every year and my year end bonus also increasing annually. But lately, this year end bonus was given out late, I just got it yesterday. Well, it's a disappointment! I am getting less bonus this year, despite the company profit margin increase. Most of our colleagues were down because of this.

I have got lesser bonus than what i have expected, even the bonus rate are not being maintain as previous rate. What a F*CK! Luckily this doesn't happen to me only, in fact the whole company got affected. Heard that even some of the senior management also not happy about this arrangement, and only some (minority) of the senior management not affected by this practice.

After changing to a new department in this company, was thinking to quit my job previously, as i dislike my manager's way of handling things. After a few months there, i finally settled down, now everything goes on smoothly. I found my sense of direction and time passes really fast daily. In fact, i like my job. But after the disappointment, i have to re-consider my decision whether to stay on or not! STAY or QUIT?

Picnic at neighbourhood playground after school 13.01.2010

Our food for the day......

Carmen was thinking of which food she should starts off with ?????

Hhmm......starts with the chicken tenders first!

After  the meal....it was her playtime.....yahoo!!!!!

My sister told me that she will go shopping after work, not coming back for dinner with us that day. She will buy supper for us tonight. Hubby called me to tell me that he will be late today, asked me to eat dinner at home or order take away food at home. So, i rather bring Carmen to buy some snacks at Burger King nearby and eat it in the playground while she can plays there. Me and her will be sharing a set of food and we've got a free sundae unexpected!

I accompany her there, we eat together and while she plays, i can go online with my new mobile phone.It's one stone that can kills two birds! Haha.....without wasting my time there with her.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Have you seen a FROG a.k.a "TIN KAI" (in cantonese) as big as this?

Daddy's holding the frog for me to take a snapshot before it end up on the plate to serve our tummy.......kekekeke!

See, the frog is approximately 2 feet long........it's a real frog, no joke!

My brother taking a look at the frog that we brought home live, to be store inside the bathroom temporary, it emit horrible sounds at night!

See, he is no fear in holding on to this BIG FROG!

Somemore...posing for me to shoot this picture......hahahaha!

Last weekend, we went to a place called "Sauk", together with my parents and my in-laws. The place near to Kuala Kangsar, at the same time visiting my dad's friend newly open birds' nest house. It was the first day that it officially ready, we saw many swallow flying around the house, probably another successful bird's nest farm in town! We went there for another mission, to try out the hot pot frog, which is claimed to be famous there. We brought along the live frog obtain from my dad's friend, we consume immediately  a restaurant there and brough tback one live to rear in out bathroom for consume later.

It was amazing to try out a wild frog delicacy. It has been ages that i have not seen or consume a wild frog as big as this, live somemore. I can recall the last time we had it was during my teenager time, while i still in my secondary school, where my dad bought it from the jungle. My grandma was still around that time, she will slaughter the frog, and my mom will cook it. After chopping and cutting one frog, it is equivalent to a plate of a whole chicken, or even might be bigger! The frog meat is so tender and juicy! Maybe some of you might feel disgusting to see the wild live frog here. Myself see also scared, but eat, ok lar!

The Lost World Of Tambun, Ipoh

Jeanne was asleep while waiting for Daddy in the que to buy entry tickets, poor girl!

Both Carmen & Coey posing while waiting for entry too......

Carmen enjoying Coey's  lifebuoy play

Coey makes her way into Jeanne's swimming suit!

Carmen must be pretty hungry after the play.....non-stop eating junks!

Carmen loves her new yellow rabbit swimming suit, even though a bit oversize on her......

Waiting in the stroller with mummy, while the others having fun, fun, fun, time! Poor mummy & Jeanne!

Jeanne still can enjoy playing with those junks brought!

Year end just over. We enjoy public holiday almost on every week in December. That's why time passes faster without us noticing it. Time really flies! And because we have so many public holidays, the time passes faster than any other month. My sister came back from Singapore, brought her daughter to join us for a trip to The Lost World of Tambun, a place similar to Sunway Lagoon, which also developed by Sunway Group in Ipoh. The place "Tambun" is a famous place of the original 'Tambun Pamelos", now is an upmarket township, compared to previously, Tambun is a small Chinese community town.

It's our first time there, wanting to bring the kids to play water. My usual job is to keep an eye on them and i will be the one who take care of the baggage and taking care of my baby Jeanne. Jeanne will not be allowed to play in water, as she just recover from mild flu. Have to take precaution, not getting her sick again. So i just need to find a good spot and R&R there, while enjoying seeing all of them playing, not forget to entertain my baby Jeanne. I think everybody was happy with the trip, even we didnt make good use of the facilities there!

Desa Waterpark @ 13.12.2009

Both sisters posing while Daddy's got changed.....luckily mommy's handphone camera quality not bad!

 

I love this post, my baby Jeanne is very sweet!

 

I like to see Jeanne smiles,  she is my sweetheart, but hubby said her eyes were just like one fine line while she smiles!

 

Carmen is in action......with her killer gun, BEWARE!

 

See, Carmen so happily playing in water, even just half an hour time

 

 The water gun that i bought long time ago finally can be use today! 

After i have gone thru so many Sunday staying at home alone with both of my sweetheart, finally yesterday hubby told me that this Sunday gonna be a different one, he is not working this Sunday. He has been working on every Sunday since few months back. That means he has been working seven days a week for the past few months.

He asked me to bring both the girls to Genting Highland, he is aware that he has spend very less time with us. Initially that was the plan yesterday. Unfortunately, we all wake up late this morning. So we decided to change our plan. We went for a good breakfast at Dragon-I restaurant in JJ. Then we get back home for a good rest, without rushing. Both of them, Carmen & Jeanne well asleep.....resting and getting ready for the next trip.

Both of them wake up late and off we go.We gone out from our home near to 4pm, we decided to choose Desa Waterpark instead of Sunway Lagoon due time limit, so we choose for a simple one, and save cost also.Sunway Lagoon cost us RM96, while Desa Waterpark only cost us RM40 for 2 adults. Haha....indirectly save more than half!

Unfortunately, the weather also not so good, it began to rain, but luckily, very mild rain, we all still can go for a short fun at the park. We reached there around 4.30pm, the crowd started to dispersed, but we are just entering the park! The truth that we are allowed to be in the water for 30 minutes only, before he park close. The pool that we were in already close within half an hour. So we get changed and went off. Can you imagine that we pay RM40 for 30 minutes fun there? After we all changed, only we notice that the other side of the pool still open!So bad......

Carmen really having a good time there with Daddy inside the pool, while Jeanne and myself is only strolling around the park. I also dont know why i change, because i never have a chance to go in the water! The worst thing is that i forget to bring my camera along! Hopes that my handphone camera works well!

Look-Out-Point a.k.a "Small Genting"

  Carmen just recover from her sick, steadily sitting down to wait for our meal

 

This advertisement grabs my attention, it's one of the restaurant there

 

The view is so blur....not really clear, but you may notice Petronas Twin Tower if you see carefully!

Last weekend, my in-laws and family were here. My sister in law suggested that we dine at Look-Out-Point, in KL. I have heard of this place, seems interesting. The location is on the hill, the weather is cooling and breezy, just like Cameron Highlands. This place is popular as a hangout place for lovers at night. There are a few restaurants on top of the hill and the view is superb. The whole KL city center can be seen from top of the hill.

So we proceed there, letting go our earlier plan to have buffet steamboat at Subang Jaya. And there we went to. The place indeed is a very nice place, good view, need to climb on top of the hill before reaching the restaurant. I f we arrive there early, probably we dont have to climb up the hill, but, we were late, there were no more parking lot on top of the hill.

The restaurant serves Fusion food, smells good. Maybe because we were all hungry. So we quickly place our order and the first dish was served within 10 minutes, to our surprise. When all the food being served, we all have a same impression, the the food serves there sucks! Nobody can finish off their meal and we only eat fries for dinner. The steak is terrible. We quickly get it done and leave the place for our second round dinner. The total bill is not cheap, but food taste is really an issue to us!

We walked around the area to appreciate it's scenery and view. I just managed to took out my mobile to snap a few pictures that grab my attention. The quality of the photo is not so good as compare to digital camera, but at least something, this is my first and last time of going to dine at LOOK-OUT-POINT!
