Old Town White Coffee

Old Town White Coffee
has become a very popular place to hang out among the teenagers these days(I'm not sure if it's true at other places but it's definitely true in Penang), you can see there's a large amount of peoples there anytime in any outlets. It surely is a perfect place to meet up with your friends, having fun & laughters, relax after a tiring work day, playing cards with your buddies, discussing about business, have a light supper & drinks before sleep, etc.... Old Town serves nice drinks & delicious food which suit the taste of the locals, the price is very reasonable and it is affordable to everyone. The most important thing is the atmosphere is very nice & comfortable, you can simply sit there talking with your friends for few hours, feeling so relax and at the same time release all the stress....... (I am doing FREE advertisement for Old Town, haha)
All my family & close friends love Old Town, whenever we are free, we'll just say:
"Let's OLDTOWN"

Raynard's recommendation 1: White Milk Tea & Enrich Chocolate
- it tastes better in cold serving as for hot serving, I personally feel the taste is too richRaynard's recommendation 2: Healthy Tuna Sandwich & Polo Cheese Bun
Other than my favorite stated above, White Coffee, French Toast, Peanut Butter/Kaya Toast, Omega Half-boiled Eggs, Curry Mee are not bad too.

[11th August 2008]

It's my Birthday ......

& I am offially 27!

I still can remember clearly when I was still a clerk in Public Bank in year 2003, which was 5 years ago, one customer came to my counter and asked me to show him my palm. After he looked at it for few minutes, then he told me that I will have a good career at my age of 27, saying that I will be achieving success, and I will be even better at my age of 37. I was so curious that time and I asked him what kind of career that I will be involving but he didn't tell me, he just smiled and said: "You deserve a better job rather than working here. Good Luck!"
After so many years and I still can remember what that uncle told me, as I really hope it will happen just like what he said.

And now, I am finally 27 and I got Cathay Pacific's offer as a Flight Attendant and I will be going to work permanently in Hong Kong, and my income is few times higher than my previous job. I am not sure whether is this the career that the uncle was referring to but I am really lucky to get this job and I will appreciate this golden opportunity, work hard.
As I always say, never think negatively and we have to be POSITIVE all the time, as this will attract all positive things to us. This is prooven in "the Law of Attraction"!!! I can feel the reality & importance of this energy in bringing us good returns, as I have got many positive things in many aspects of being attitude-ly positive, being internally positive will lead us to be externally positive!
I will keep it UP with the right attitude!!! Yeah!!! ^_^

I would like to share some of my most valuable wishes & presents from my V.I.P here:

I am really happy & excited to receive this present from you, my dearest Didi. Thanks for getting this super nice casual coat for me, you told me you bought it online and it was delivered to Penang all the way from Hong Kong. Thanks for your great effort and I know this must have costed you a lot, thanks so much & I love it. You know what, that night when you passed me this and you were telling me you want to give me something which will represent you and I'll feel that you'll always be with me, so you decided to buy me a casual coat so that I can wear it anytime, anywhere. I'm really touched and happy that you told me that. I'll definitely bring it to Hong Kong, this is such an expensive, valuable & memorable present for me with great meaning. And I want to thank you for your D.I.Y Birthday Card too, it's so lovely and nice. I like what you have written inside, it's too touching and simply awesome.
Thank you my DIDI - Bryan!

Thanks to my Xiao Bao - Raydernt Soon. Thanks so much for this D.I.Y Birthday Card too(although it's not your design, I know you are very busy lately with your work), I really like it so much. It's been so many years since the day we knew each other and it's so great that we still can maintain such a great brotherhood until today, thanks for treasuring me and all your concerns and support, it meant so much to me. We've been through many things these years, ups and downs and we managed to pull it through. Give me FIVE!!!
I will be missing you so much when I go Hong Kong, don't you ever dare to forget me. Hopefully we can celebrate our birthday together next year .... 811 & 822!!! Hehehe
Take care always and all the BEST!!!

My dearest Godmom - Gina .... I want to thank you so much for your love throughout these years, caring so much about me and treating me with your most sincere heart. Most of the words from my heart I have already written behind the picture that I gave you, just read it. We have had many arguments these years and of course not forgetting our most unforgetable happy moments, having fun times laughing non-stop. You have been together with me, accompanying me through my ups and downs. We have indeed had a lot of great moments together and I will always remember each and everyone of that (accompany me to KL for my career interview, accompany me to take my first studio picture in KL Plaza, cook my favorite food, watch movies together, many many more ....) Thanks for not giving up on me and I just want to tell you that you are simply the best.
Will be missing you so much ^_^

Thanks to my little angel - Stefanie ..... I really love this cap with " Ray is Fckin Hot " printed on top, thanks for making this for me & I will bring it to Hong Kong remembering & missing you always. Thanks for being there always for me and I know sometimes you were in very hard situations but you still put me in priority, I can feel it and I am very happy. You are trying very hard most of the times to do your best, I can really see your effort to become my perfect angel and I want to tell you that YOU ARE PERFECT! I am leaving in another few more days and it's gonna be very hard for both of us but I have confidence, so do you. Just remember what I told you before. Study hard for a better future and be a good girl always ok?
LOVE YOU always .....

Celia Pan my best friend, thanks for your overseas call on my birthday and I was so happy to receive your call from Taipei, in fact before that I have been waiting for your birthday sms... Heheh!!! It's so nice to listen to your voice again, a voice which I have been missing for so long. I am going to Hong Kong very soon and I believe I can meet you in person again soon, really looking forward so much for the day. I'll send you a special gift and you're gonna receive it 2 weeks later, by the time you get it, I am already in Hong Kong. Hope you'll like it & the Old Town White Coffee which you like it so much when you tried it in Singapore.
Take care always and all the best in your entertainment career!
Miss ya =)

Vincent & Jaye, thanks to both of you for attending my B'day party .... I really din expect that!!! We have to keep in touch ok?
I had the greatest & most wonderful birthday celebration ever this year on the 9th August 2008 (my real day was 11th Aug), my group of best friends celebrated 2 days in advance for me. It was such a damn memorable, touching, warmth, unforgetable, happy, wonderful & perfect celebration for me, I am gonna tell you guys that I will remember each and every single scene that day. Every seconds which I've spent that day were simply awesome, I never felt that way before. It's really so happy & touching to be appreciated this way .... You guys really put me into tears .... ="( You guys just made me feel even harder to leave here!

I didn't know that my friends were planning a "surprise party" for my birthday, it was an usual Saturday (9th Aug) that I went to Celebrity Fitness to workout in the morning knowing NOTHING about the celebration which surprised me after that ..... I met both Kerry & Jaye at the gym but they were really good actress, we talked a little while just like usual, they didn't even show out anything which made me suspect .... really SALUTE to both of you!!!

After my workout session, I went to meet Stefanie at 2pm which we've dated earlier, initially she's just saying that we go to have lunch together. But when I was waiting for her in front of Leisure Bay (the place that she asked me to wait for her), I suddenly saw Bryan, Fion and Jeney turned up at that place too, then I begin to suspect, something is very very WRONG. I asked Stef what is she planning and she remained silence, we went for lunch at New World Park as I was damn hungry that time. After that we went to buy something at Cold Storage, Island Plaza and she brought me up to unit 3-3-5 at Leisure Bay, I kept asking her whose apartment is she bringing me to, and she's just kept SMILING...... Damn, I failed to know what I wanted to know!

The door opened, we walked in and nobody's inside ..... Out of a sudden and they ran out from the room and said : "SURPRISED!!!" .... Bryan, Jeney, Fion, Joel & Kuang(the last one I saw as he was hiding inside the cupboard). Oh my god, they planned an apartment stay at Leisure Bay for my early birthday celebration which I have never expected, we mentioned about it earlier on and we have cancelled it owing to some issues .... But they have made it for me quietly ... They prepared my lens casing and toothbrush for me knowing that I didn't bring any of those! This is really a big surprise, and I have never had surprise for such a long long time.

The door bell rang not long after that and guess what, Vincent, Jaye and Pang came up to the apartment, 2nd surprise for me. Until late evening, Yean Joo and her friend turned up too, 3rd surprise for me. I asked Stef that time whether is Kerry coming or not and she told me Kerry's not coming as she needs to go to the church at night, I knew that too.

We cooked spaghetti, egg sandwich, roti-jala, jelly & fruit punch for the dinner .... busy for few hours in the kitchen but I didn't help much as Bryan kept pushing me out from the kitchen saying that I am not allowed to step in. Then I just talk with the rest outside and sing some songs with Vincent's playing the guitar. Thanks to Joel, Bryan, Jeney & Fion who were so busy in the kitchen preparing for the dinner, paiseh!!!

After our sumptuous dinner, Bryan asked me to go down and swim with him and we did about 20 minutes swim in the pool, then we were being warned by the security that NO SWIMMING is allowed after 930pm. I chat a little while and spent some times with Stefanie by the pool before going back to the apartment. Stefanie blindfolded me all the way from the pool to the apartment, leading me step by step!

When I reached the apartment and being led to sit on the sofa, I opened my eyes and the whole room was in a total darkness. I saw Bryan is playing guitar and sang a birthday song for me, everyone start following then. Just a couple of minutes after that, Kerry carried out a cake with the lighting candles from the room which was being locked the whole day since I reached there. Oh my god, I thought she's not coming. I saw Chia Huey too! Each and everyone in the living room plus the birthday song sang by Bryan really put me into tears & made me speechless, that scene will definitely last in my mind forever ..... It's gonna last FOREVER!!! Joel was taking the video and kept making fun, I am gonna keep looking at the video every now and then MISSING you guys! I made some wishes, blew the candles and they opened the light, I saw 2 big cards with my pictures and their written dedications were being sticked on the wall .... this is so lovely and touching. It was really surprise after surprise, and the night was the biggest surprise of the day!!!

Thanks to Stefanie, I know you have been so tiring planning all this. And of course thanks to everyone of you who has put in the efforts in my celebration , thanks for attending! My 27th Birthday wouldn't be so PERFECT & MEMORABLE without anyone of you!

I love you guys ^_^

An email from my "manager" - Derek Tan

Hi Derek my "MANAGER", I call him this way because he once said I am very talented and keep promoting me to the others that I can sing, dance, act and have a good look, that's why he is calling me "the Package" .... thanks for appreciating me this way and I am really flattered! He said he'll be my manager next time if I become a celebrity, thanks for booking me in advance. ^_^

I recently received his email and I decided to post it in my blog to share with my friends because the mail is truly inspiring, touching, warmth & encouraging. Thanks for all the words of compliments and encouragements which will keep me being myself & of course to remind me to stay strong and be a better me. I will always read the mail to CHARGE myself, just like charging cellphone, whenever my BATT is low .... Hahah!!!

Like what you say, I will always remain myself as Raynard. I will believe in myself and have faith in what I do. I will never give up easily as I know I have a bunch of peoples behind me supporting me.

Thanks once again my manager.

***********************************
Dear Raynard "The Package",
They say that in life what sometimes appears to be the end is really a new beginning.....
I am delighted, in one sense and in another when you take leave of Penang and spread your wings and soar in Hong Kong to enhance your goals for excellence in a career which holds great rewards for you. I am sure your friends and loved ones will miss your cherubic personality and enthusiasm which is in essence the spirit of what you are all about.

Throughout the time I've known you, you have shown a pleasant and cheerful disposition to all your friends and on a personal level, I find you to be friendly, cheerful and honest character. You have been able to mix around amongst friends with a gaily disposition.
We all know that we are faced with a tough and challenging time but that doesn't deter us from achieving our desired goals. Raynard, always remember that our strengths are our tools, our personal reality. Our weaknesses are only what we are not. Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. Your responsibility is to take the talents you have and ardently parlay them to the highest possible achievement. Nothing stops a person who desires to achieve.

Every obstacle is simply a course to develop your achievement muscle. It's a strengthening of
your powers of accomplishment.

Also do remember that great things are not done by impulse but a series of small things brought together. Accomplishment will prove to be a journey, not a destination. Always believe in yourself my dear Raynard. Believe it firmly and you will then do what is necessary to bring success about. The mind can convince a competent person that he is incompetent or an adequate person that he is highly talented.

And for all of us, there is a new beginning...new pursuits and enhancements. I wish you well as there are so many things in life that will catch ones eyes but only a few that will take your breath away and capture your heart. Remain as you are Raynard...your spirit and your attitude will get you the altitude. I sincerely wish you success as you pursue that.

Best regards,
Derek Tan (your "Manager")

***********************************

I will always miss you, my manager.

Do take care always &
Stay in touch! ^_^

My last month at Celebrity Fitness

This month will be my last month at my 2nd home, Celebrity Fitness after my 2 years membership. Time flies and it will not wait .... I have terminated my membership and I will appreciate my last month at the gym and in Penang, then I will have to temporarily say goodbye to everything here .... this is the hardest thing for me ="(

Hopefully I still go to the gym in Hong Kong to workout.
I need WORKOUT!!!

My 1st Farewell Dinner

This is my 1st farewell dinner with my ex-Public Bank colleagues (Pulau Tikus Branch), my first job and my first group of colleagues ..... It's been nice to keep in touch with them until today, they are cool friends especially Lim Kok Chin, used to sit beside me during my employment with Public Bank as a bank teller, I am sitting at Counter 3 (Special Care Counter) and he's sitting at Counter 4, we used to make fun with customers & our fellow colleagues .... that was a memorable time and I had wonderful memories there, at Pulau Tikus Branch!
Swee-Jun was my senior when I first join PBB and she has taught me a lot of things, thanks for the patience and everything. You are a nice colleague to work with.

Raynard, Kok-Chin, Jun & Bee-Ling ......
Keep in touch always .....
All the best!!!
