PATHLAB or BP LAB?

Human beings live a relatively t long time, at least in comparison to most animal species. So, we really need to ask ourselves the question "what is the right age to start health screening and regular checkups?" 

Young does not mean you are healthy particularly. In today's society, we hear stories about people getting cancer, no matter what age people are. Young adults and adults up to age 30 can get away with checkups every two years, for the most part, except for PAP screening in women and also regular breast self-examination.

Now, i think it's time for me to do medical checkup. For those who are interested, please be informed that there are two on-going promotion for screening test (medical checkup) as per below:

A Thank You Note

Today was my last day at Essence Communications. A very emotional day indeed. Days like this always feel weird and sad. Weird because I'm leaving something that I've come to know so well to venture off into a somehow unknown future; sad because I'm leaving behind a load of memories and mainly because I know I'll be missing the team I spent most of my day with for over 8 months, so much. 

Why did I take this step? Well, I guess, I just felt the time was right to move on, all the omens were right, maybe the stars were in place too or whatever else you believe in.

I'm proud to have served here, and I'm proud of the wonderful work that I've done so far. Only time will tell what kind of impact that is going to have on the life of people. But I'll maintain my hopes up.

Saying good bye to people I've worked with, people I shared my time, sweat and blood with was the hardest thing ever. But it had to be done.

I had a wonderful farewell luncheon with my ex-colleagues at Secret Recipe last Friday. Today, I enjoyed my delicious lunch with them again. Thanks to the HR manager who treated me a slice of green tea cheese cake in the evening just now. 

Thanks for the chocolates, cup cakes and special cards! Thanks once again for the warm hugs from you all and also kisses from my boss! *teardrops in my heart*

I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors.  

 Thanks to Lyn for the delicious cup cakes!

 Thanks to Natalie for the chocolates! *I love chocolates*

 A special card from my supervisor, I was so touched especially when I have read this: "Proud to see how you have grown & matured with us and how far you have come in terms of your overall PR skills, social skills & out looking life"

 [Translation] Wish you all the best in the future and may your dream come true! Thanks for your guidance that you have provided to me.


A BIG THANK YOU!

Lala Chong Seafood Restaurant @ Kayu Ara Damansara

While everyone was partying the night away during the weekend, especially at Saturday night as the next day is "Non-working day" for workers or "Non-schooling day" for students, my friends and I headed to Lala Chong for some rocking Chinese-style seafood. The original restaurant was located at Terminal 3, Subang and now it has been relocated to Kampung Ara, Damansara. Good for PJ folks like us!

According to my friends, it was not just a simply dinner but they 'celebrated' for my resignation which my last day will be on April 26 (this coming Tuesday). *laugh*

Elaine: "I can't break this (Pincer)"
Man: "This part (joint) is really hard, who can help?" (they stared at me)
Kit Mun: "Peng, I need your help"

Obviously, I took the job which I didn't mind at all as they said I am skillful in eating crab and strong enough to break the pincers (crab).  Can i take it as a compliment? *giggle* 


 Seong Tong Lala @ RM15
(special soup which includes Chinese herbs, ginger & loads of Chinese wine)

This dish was very scrumptious, steaming hot, it had just enough pepper to impact a nice string to your throat and also a healthy dose of Chinese herbs. *MUST TRY*

 Creamy Butter Crabs @ RM47/ kg
(It's disappointed that this creamy butter wasn't that good as too much of milk added into butter.)

 
Spicy Sour Crabs @ RM47/ kg
(This was better than the butter flavor but it wasn't that impressive)

Fried Bun @ RM1.50/pcs
(I really love this! Super delicious when you dip with sauce!)
 Stir-fried vegetable @ RM10

Kam Heong Style Bamboo Lala @ RM12
(It was a bit of fishy but still acceptable)

Mantis Prawn @ RM12
(One of the nice dishes - Crunchy!) 

RM185.95 for 7 dishes

Be prepared to wait for at least 30 minutes for your food if you are there on weekend. All in all, the price was reasonable and is cheaper than other seafood restaurants in PJ area for the similar dishes. Good to revisit again, huh?
