Birthday surprise just for you

I have been reserving this post for a while now. I want it to be special. Just like how I want the surprise to be special.

The surprised happened early this month, but the actual planning started weeks before that. It was my first BIG surprise for someone I love, in fact, for anyone at all. Carrying it out made me more nervous than anything else. The night before the surprise I couldn't sleep at all.
All i told her was to free her birthday morning out for me. I told that i wanted to sing karaoke on her birthday with her. I didn't give out any hint to the surprise at all, i hope she didn't sensed anything.  


Since i wasn't able to sleep properly the night before, so i can't really wake up the next day (although i set my alarm clock at 10am). She texted me in the next morning suddenly, saying that she will arrive at my house earlier. I was still half awake sitting on my bed when i got her message. I wasn't expected that she will come so early.

Still in my pyjamas, i quickly rushed downstairs, get what i prepared and hide it in the car. (I planned to surprised her during our karaoke.)  I have to hide in the car boot because i'm afraid that she might saw it if i hide inside the car.

About 11am, reached Greenbox, Jusco Cheras Selatan.

Karaoke. Sing.

I was so nervous, i waited and waited. I kept on looking at my phone, because i forgotten to wear a watch. Finally, it's show time. I told her that i'm going to the toilet. I left the room, half running and half walking, returned to my car and get my present for her. The parking lot was quite far from Greenbox, i was praying hard in my heart that she won't suspect anything, and won't come out looking for me.

When i returned back to Greenbox, i was so kelam kabut that time, and i nearly burn the whole cupcake box when i lit the candle. The Greenbox's supervisor saw me, he came forward and helped me. And he also asked me whether i want to have birthday song along when i bring in the cupcake.

There goes my birthday surprise.

I was singing birthday song and i walked into the room. I felt so silly when i thought it back.

#1
I like the expression.

 #2
Cupcakes that i made.

Went bakery to buy ingredients i need.

#11
Mixing colours of icing.

#12

#13

#14
The original cupcakes actually looks like this. The icing on top melted and smudged a lil' bit when i presented it to JY because i put it inside the car for too long. The colour has somehow changed. I'm so sorry, my first time doing this.

''Dearest JY, this is the birthday gift for you. And we celebrated it together. I can't afford something expensive for you. And sorry if my birthday surprise sucks ;P. (You know that i'm not good in planning things, somemore this was the first birthday surprise i planned for others.) But this surprise took me some time to prepared, and as far as my effort shows. I may not be the best best friend of yours, in deepest of my heart, i love you... Happy Birthday, Darling.''

xoxo.

In come

I love money!!! $___$

Who doesn't like money, right? $___$

But, i have to work to have money. T___T

Proudly present you the job i'm doing now. Some folding, gluing job at home. As i know some people are curious about what is my job looks like. For those who look down upon me doing this job, get lost.

1. Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Box

Project that i'v done the most among all. Once in awhile, i'll still receive this project. But, this project is a lil' bit complicated. Don't really like it, my house will be so dirty because the paper are super dusty. And, the paper are sharp too, i'll always get paper cut here and there on my fingers and tights no matter how i avoided. Even my fingernails cracked!

#1
Colgate Stack.

#2
Applying glue on the three parts, both the square side and the long centre area. In order to do fast, i'd arrange a few paper to glue at one time.

#3
Folding it into this after applying glue. Then tying up every 50 Colgate boxes with rubberband.

#4
I'm afraid it'll open up again, so i use a heavy metal thing to compress it.

#5
And, my working place :)

2. Paperbag for Jabatan Laut Malaysia.

The most troublesome project i did so far i think. It requires large place to do it, because the the paper is huge. And, it needs the most folding and gluing work. Of course, the price will be higher too.

#6
As you can see, so huge.

#7
First gluing and folding of the upper part of the bag.

 #8
The second gluing and folding on the side.

#9
Folding on the other side.

#10
Folding the up.

#11
And folding the bottom.

#12
Then gluing and folding the bottom part again.


#13
See, how much work to complete a paperbag.

#14
Compress it.

#15
Before tieing 50 bags each pile.

3. Paperbag for Jabatan Kehakiman Syariah Terengganu.

Basically, this project is the same as the previous paperbag. Accept that the size of the paperbag is a lil' bit smaller. So i shall skip the process.

#16

 #17
How messy is my house.

3. Great Eastern CDs

This project has the cheapest price among all. Because it was sooo easy, i only need to insert the CDs into plastic bags. Thats all. Imagine how easy it was, and how much i've been paid. I forgotten how much the paid was, but it was definitely too low. And the boxes of CDs are duper heavy. After doing for a few boxes, i finally gave up and i rejected this project. The paid was not worth for my work!

Anyway,

 #18
The heavy box, imagine me lifting it up.

 #19

#20
I have to to tie it 25 CDs each with rubberband.

5. Colgate Box

 #21

#22
Only requires one part of gluing. Simple.

#23

6. Palmolive Sample Packet.

What i am doing now, i like this project. It's simple and won't be dirtying my place. I have done more than 20,000 and still counting. Money!!

#24
 The sample packet come like this, i have separate it myself.

#25

#26
Than using elephant glue which they provided, glue it on the paper.

#27
Fold it, and paste a small round sticker they gave on the side.

So far so good, i've done six different kind of project from this job.Well, this is not a high paying job, of course. But you're doing it at home. I don't think it's appropriate for me to reveal the price of each project here. The pay for different project varies each time. Depends how complicated is the project.






How much you do = How much you'd earn.

So, in order to earn more, much more; i must do more. Which is the reason why i disappeared from the Internet world lately. I'll see you when i finish this project. Kthxbai for now.

Jungle Retreat

So I got back from the Fraser's Hill (1 day) trip with friends. This is the first time i visited hill other than Genting Highland and Cameron Highland and i only have one comment for Fraser's Hill.

#1

WHY NOT COOLING.

What i expected of Fraser's HILL is to be some place breezy, cooling, windy, misty or snowing. LOL.

#2

We stopped by half way going up to Fraser's Hill to see this humongous dam. There is also a humongous hole where water flows inside too.

#3
With JY, and the biggest dam i had ever seen in my life.

#4

The landscape around the huge dam is damn nice. Very tranquil.

#5


#6
 
The bus took about an hour to reach Fraser's Hill. There is a schedule for visitors to follow for driving up and down Fraser's Hill, a driving gap of one hour each since the road is narrow. So, odd hours for driving up the hill; even hours for driving down the hill.

#7
Fraser's Hill Food Garden, first place to visit after arriving.

 #8
My Nasi Goreng Cina was edible. But the environment of the restaurant was a little too dirty.

#9
Whereas, this two gentlemen's Nasi Goreng with ayam goreng and Nasi Pattaya was bad.

#10
Chilled around the playground after lunch.

While,

#11
Bra busy adjusting and styling his hair to match the new bandana that he just bought from the souvenir shop.

#12
The bandana.

And then, our jungle trekking starts!

#13
Map of Fraser's Hill which is given to each of us.

 #14
We are leading!

#15
The first trail we went, which is 1km long.

#16
The second trail, total distance of 1.5km, which is longer than Hemmant trail.

 #17
The real jungle trekking i never had before in my life. I feel so adventurous!

 #18

#19
It was damn tiring, i was scared that i will be fainted before reaching the exit.

#20
Where is the exit!!!???

 #21
WHY SO SERIOUS?

#22
Dragon-BRA?

#23
Finally we finished the whole trail, which we exited at Muar Cottage.

#24

Cam-whoring in front of Muar Cottage while waiting the rest of the group members to arrive.

#24
Best jump of Bra and Norman.


#25
Best jump of me and JY.

#26
Then someone even jump out of the camera.

#27
In Fraser's Hill, the landmark where everybody will take photo is the clock tower.

We supposed go bicycle riding, but the bicycles are limited, we so good, let the small kids play first. Cam-whoring again, while waiting for our turn to ride the bicycle.
