Back To Work

Finally, after what seem like an eternity, I'm back to work! And happy birthday to me! I hit the big 3-0!! To celebrate this significant event in my life, I shall compile a list of 30 things that I'm blessed with in my life. But before I get to that, I have some unfinished business to complete for the previous post, because I was so tired then.

On my last day in Ipoh, I managed to meet up some of my coursemates from UPM for lunch. And as tradition goes, this is the time of the year to Toss The Fortune Fish. I just made that up, the name that is. In chinese, it's lou yu sheng, something like 'toss raw fish'. Why fish? The character 'yu', meaning fish, is closely associated with prosperity, because the sound for that character is identical to the sound for the character for surplus or plenty. Thus, the New Year saying 'Nian Nian You Yu' that means 'May there be surplus every year'.



Here are some more pictures.




So, in the between the lunch reunion and being back home in Johor Bahru, I was in the car...for another 10 hours.

Now, I'm sitting in my office, feeling dazed, wondering if this is reality. And trying to compile a list of the 30 things I'm grateful for in my 30 years of life so far. AKAN DATANG!
