Exactly what is important to you?

Exactly a year a ago, I joint this firm that I’m currently working for, time flies……….

Like every one who earns a pay cheque every month, I bet that at one time of a day, there are several question that you wished that you had answered to..

For example:

“ How to stay in love with my job”

“ How to get along with you colleagues”

“ How not to procrastinate your work”

“ How to achieve what you mind is conceiving…

Yes, and the list goes on….for those who do not understand this, my advice is to skip this post because only people who are devoted to their job knows what I’m talking about..

The truth about work is, it should not be about paying off your bills , or the car installment, or the food indulgence, or the craze to change the bumpers of the cars, or the latest gadgets or phone, or the must have shoes…

Your work is basically doing something that you have spend half your life studying and achieving it in the real world, gaining satisfaction for yourself, thus …..the reward of the hard work will be reaping salary or money, or commission, or whatever you called it.

Sadly, many work for the latter. And very few work for passion, for example: a designer could not jus work for money, I’m sure that he must have certain passion or idea for his/her client in order to proceed further , and after his client is satisfied with his work, thus his work pay off by the “ka-ching” pay cheque.

But then again, the love of money..is the root of all evil, many will go the distance in order to earn more money in the business world and sometimes losing their core value and their loved ones…

They spend so much time investing in their business, they start to neglect their families and children, taking for granted only to know that after achieving at the peak, they look at themselves, are there is no one to celebrate the glory together, because people who are busy earning money usually take for granted of their loved ones. (I’m not against those who earn loads of money; in fact I spent most of my time working also) thinking that their love one will always be there................ yes, there will always be, but the love has faded and their money can longer buy back the time that they have wasted.

some ..some ...some time ago....

I used to have an ex who work at the top level management, (Lets call him C), he basically earns enough to buy a kancil every month.... He would wake up early for work and will be very very busy for the whole day. But let me tell you about C, regardless his hectic schedule, or his crazy timetable, he always make time to call me, to make sure that i'm okay, that i'm full, that i'm happy....etc etc... sometimes he even comes out to have a little tea break at the hotel lounge near his office. I always wonder how come he had the guts to do such things like taking 2 hours off for tea and sometimes even leave as early as 3pm to accompany me shopping. (He was not the boss; incase you are wondering)

His reply was simple “ I can change many jobs, but I can only have one you”

It may sounds lame, but C prove it with his action. All that he has done, all is not wasted, and is still remembered.

What would you do today; if you’re busy with your work; would you call up your love ones jus to say that you love ‘em? or you miss 'em?

Island escapade – Finale

So, my final day in perhentian basically ends after I had a hearty breakfast at the Matahari chalet…(from the pic, u can see there where we had b'fast and the place that where we stayed.....)

Before i left, I took loads of candid shot, lala shot, stupid shot, whatever u call it...m not goin to post it up here la.....

*

*

After we checked out, we chartered a taxi to Kota Bahru town before departing back to the city ; we went to this famous place called "yati's"...the locals would know the place well..... u guys should come here too…I recommend, THE nasi dagang and nasi kerabu..and it goes well with the “ayam percik” and if you have sweet tooth, the local desserts is a must try!

i was seriously full with all the nasi, nasi & sweet desserts..i swear to god i wanted to pack all home....

and I’m so keberatan to leave..but then again, if i wanna come here, i need to work so that i can come here again, EVERY YEAR.....

Perhentian is a great place to be, for those of you who wants a laid back lifetsyle, this is a place you cannot miss.......

- its not like your average "hard rock cafe" resort , its really simple, where the locals are still using mosquito coil, and you are still sleeping on flat mattresses....

- and your're in your surfer shorts and bikini top ; ready to dip in whenever the weather gets hot...

provided that Perhentian will always be like that way i want it to be; not so commercialized like Redang, and NOT too many people like Phuket, i would come....i will sign up for a 3-day crash course of scuba diving.....and get a certificate..

so......WHO'S JOINING ME?

Those little things!

I was sick the during the weekend and if you want to continue reading this post, jus let me warn you that this is actually an emo post. So if you dun wanna get emo, so stay clear out of this post k? dun say I didn’t warn you.....

A little intro first, Those who knows me; knows that they do not need to worry for me, because I have always ..and have been …a very independent person. Be it at school or at college, my parents was not worried for me when I was studying for my exams or for my finals or what the hell I was doing during my mid-term, even when I shifted house or when I went traveling solo, did my first interview or my first job….. my parents need not worry… they knew that I would take care of everything.. But for being a sick person, that was my ultimate, because being independent means that even though you are sick, you need to take care of yourself, and this is the part that I hate most.

Being sick brings out the worst of me, I become a very cranky person, I will not see a doctor unless someone brings me there and even after that; I will refuse to take medication and I refuse to eat when I’m sick because I don’t have the appetite.. I will keep vomiting and medicine won’t help, I will stay in bed until someone comes and pampers me..this is me ……..(when I’m sick)

But being sick and being independent makes me frustrated; even when I was sick 2 days ago, lying on my bed,....I remembered how was it like to be pampered by the person I truly love and treasure most, the times when I had H to be wid me.. (lets jus call him that)

*

*

When I was admitted in the hospital because of pneumonia in Year 2006, (yes , it was a year ago, but still..) .. he was always there,when i needed him, to be wid me and stroke my forehead before I shut my eyes when I open my eyes..he will be there, smiling...

During that time, H had stopped worked completely to take care of me. No man would do that..and he did. He knew that I could not be alone when I was sick, he would let me rest on his shoulder and comfort me to make sure that I will be alright. he will hug and squeeze me tight telling me that i should gain more weight.

Yes, H would also sit beside me during meal time making sure that I eat every single food on my table, he would make tea for me to smell the aroma because I could not drink it; but at least to enjoy it;

he would crush all the tablets and put it into small capsules that he sneak in so I would eat the medication;

he would let me sleep on his arms even though the weight was causing him cramps and he would kiss my forehead and whisper into my ears stories of his..and blah...blah... before I shut my eyes and go to bed……

Those little things that he did ….those little things that he said….

Well, they aren’t little……….

Island escapade – Day 2

This comes in a bit late…sowee…

My schedule has been pretty hectic due the project that we have jus undertake, thus the delay…

So I was saying, Day 2 was merely snorkeling and dinner….

We woke up at 10 am , took heavy load breakfast; or jus me cause I’m d youngest and the most energetic…and so ready for snorkeling..

Our snorkeling trip took us to various places, sea turtles, sharks , clown fish, yellow tank, anemone,..or whatever u called it..i always have my tongue twisted....anyways,whatever under the sea u name it they have it, there was a time where I was so enthusiast chasing sharks that me and my guide we so so away from our boat….

So here are the pics,, btw, thank to “mama’s boy” cam, we dive in with the camera to take more pics…..

and this is how it looks like from from the boat.....we were underneath, this photo is courtesy of the one who dare not swim in....anyways, i was so excited, i dived into the sea and my effort scares all the fishes away....

*

*

*

*

*

*

last but not least, the trip would not be complete if "crazy dare devil" didnt take a photo under da sea....

*

*

*

*

*

*

The last stop was to see sea turtles….they are so cutey cute you can really die!

the turtles actually are waiting for night time to be released in the ocean..it was great seeing them frantically flapping up and down none stop..like charged super super energiser battery!!!

oh ya, before we left, we saw numerous of jelly fish floating and since the guide told us it was safe, we scoop it up to play with it (i know; u might think i'm crazy, but i'm not..well..maybe jus a little)

*



*


*

behold, JELLY FISH IN YOUR HANDS...then after that, we wait for the jellyfish to lose its water ..something like osmosis....wakakaka...almost dying but but not yet..then i throw it back into the sea..where IT belongs..

*
*

our snorkeling trip lasted till about 4.30 pm; where the sun already burn most of my skin except my private part......thus leaving me still TANNED now....

our snorkeling trip did not END when we got back to our island, we were suppose to return those mask and flippers; but since we were already tanned and burn; so might as well play till maximum...

YES, we took the mask, flippers and camera and went venturing into the ocean without any life jacket..we walk at the edge of the rocks and dive into the sea where we saw more corals and some fish so called "doctor fish"..... we swam until the tides came in..and we were still swimming...

it was almost sunset, so we decided to head home, on our way home, one of my guy fren can't help but to stare at this "lady" sleeping topless....under the shade....so he wanted to take a pic of her, but since it was so obvious going right over to take her pic, (so freaking hamsap rite??)

he said that he will pose but make sured that i took her topless pic......and here's it....since he has one, might as well share it here...with all u guys.....

A-HA!!
u think i will really post up the nude pic?

i am still a girl rite? u think i will show my own species nude pictures?

*
* ish* ish*
*
*

but the most interesting story is this..the guy friend who decided to take this pic put down his bag for a little posing..... the bag contain his chalet key... i think he was so excited to take a look at the preview in the camera, he didn't knew that he drop his keys, we didn't saw it coming either...HE REFUSE to pay for the lost of keys and was looking high and low to search for it.....

For the price of camera : RM 1,799.00
For the price to replace lost key : RM 20.00
The look on his face when searching for keys: PRICELESS!!!

Guys, there is a lesson to be learn here, never opt to be pervert unless u know that you are paying a price for it... considering RM 20 is not expensive though....

of course, he didn't find it, and he paid for the lost key.......

It was a good and memorable trip for him, and as for me i have fun time enjoying my dinner ...

the picture is a wee bit dark; and i admit i'm lazy to edit the pictures; it will really show the tanned line..also, cause i'm not Xiaxue..and i dun't practice air-brushing my pic...

(Scrumptious dinner)




that basically ends my day 2 in Perhentian.....

What is your sense of smell?

I’m supposed to be in bed by this time, cause i need to get up early for work...but, but, but.. I took a day of for tomorrow because of the hectic schedule that I was working for the past previous Saturday. So here am I now at my parents house getting used to my brother’s pc to put this post up..

As I freshen up to get to bed 5 mins ago, I realized that I did not brought the bag which I has all my moisturizer and toner in..

.damn....

so I dash into my mums room and get hold of anything which I knew I can make use off..

As I stared into my mum’s dressing table mirror, and slab on some night cream, I saw a reflection of myself becoming more like my mum...

(snap) * shakes head frantically

suddenly, I began to remember how I was, when I was kid , barely even at my mum’s waist, I used to see her from the reflection of the mirror, the same one that she is till using now, I vividly remember how she used the put the creams on her face….. and how I love the smell…( my mum's smell & the mixture of it) thats the smell of my mum with the creams that she put on her face…....I would tip toes on my tiny feet, and my eyes will briefly scan through the container that my mum use because i was so short and i could barely see the surface of the dressing table... and my little finger would stretch jus to touch the container….being mischievous, my mum would then dab a little on my nose and my forehead and how I would mimic her even as she strokes her finger on her face and she would jus fringe a little so that the cream would absorbed in.

Fast forward 20 years and I’m now in front of my mum’s dressing table, doing exact same thing that she does most of the night and even now…

Well, maybe a little more extra moisturizer my mum uses now..such as anti-aging, eye cream, serum and so much more than keeps me wondering that she is still the same mum that I knew her 24 years ago… memories start flashes before me and I knew it…..

“hey, those are anti-anging cream la..u old already meh?” my mum spoke as she entered the room

“no-la , I didn’t use..jus experimenting only….”

And before I left , I opened the container again that says “night cream” and smell it before I left her room..

Somehow, sometimes, No matter where you are, an what are you doing, and how far life has brought u, there a certain things that will always be remembered and will not be erased from our memory, like the “sense of smell”… it can always give u a certain memories that you have been thru whether sweet or sour, good or bad…and it makes you travel back, remembering the exact time and places….where the exact smell makes you recall your most fondest memories.....what is your memories of sense today?

Island escapade – Day 1

I’m so overdue with this post..nevertheless I still need to post it up….

To make everyone go green eye monster ..my budgeted trip cost me RM 400 with balance of RM 23.74..this cost includes

• Air ticket,
• Taxi fares,
• boat transfer,
• scrumptious seafood,
• Supper, tea break, breakfast,
  
• snorkeling trip,
  
• turtle watching,
• accommodation
• basically everything la…

We took a morning flight, and woke up wee early to be at LCCT at 6 a.m..we departed at 6.20 am and arrived Kota Bahru at 7.20 am plus , minus....

.......the ride on the plane...

Our trip was free and easy , so every decision was made there and there. We took a cab from Kota Bahru to Kuala Besut which include a return boat transfer to Pulau Perhentian.

Did I mention that my trip was to perhentian? LOL….. yeah, my trip was to perhentian…… so the whole journey from Kota Bahru Airport to the island was about 2hours and we arrived the island at 11.30 am. Which is just in time for lunch. here's the pic where i can't wait to be in the island...

We stayed in Long island because Vic mentioned that that place is damn cantik…after we checked into our chalets, we went to look for food….but take a look at this really really cantik view where we had lunch….

Muwahahhahha…extremely B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L …for a PD ians who stayed her whole life in da beach….this is one island U MUST GO….u must go!!!

After we fill our tummy… we were up for an adventurous activity…..we checked with the guide for a jungle trekking activity on the other side.???Or so the guide claimed. He is a local there and he knows the place by heart. The guide said that we will trek to the other side of the island which is called “ personal beach”

Me : personal beach ..wow! sounds cool…

Friend : How cool is that? Not that you can swim naked..?

Me : =_=’

The guide was literally wearing some “fake crocs” yellow slippers and he told us that if was safe to trek with our japanese slippers…WE BELIEVED HIM….and we got cut on our legs because there were thorns which we could not see hidden here and there during our trekking trip…

At last, after 45 mins trekking, we could hear the sounds of the waves and we quickly took a sneak peak from the massive , bush, grass, leaves ( I dunno what you called that, jus a bunch of flora crap obstructing our view).....but it was so fun...(u can see the background of the guide with his crocs)

Upon the sneak peak, we all rushed down to the “personal beach” ,…it was so damn AWESOME. ...especially at a hot afternoon …. we began to lose more clothes as the weather gets hotter.. (u guys know what i mean)

So here’s the personal beach that we were…wakakkaka..jealous rite?

... YOUR OWN BEACH..WITH FREEDOM TO:

"DO ANYTHING CAN"

Not long after that, the guide told us that there were sea cucumber in the waters and that we could eat it RAW..its so good for health..it makes your hair black and good for your tummy..although it looks pretty gross because it looks like some African dick…

...thats's what it looks like......gross isnt it?

BUT GUESS WHAT????

without hesitating , I took one out beneath the sand and started chewing it

..mmmmmmmmm..YUMMY..........................................and one more on the other hand...

Ok, ok …I was jus kidding about the sea cucumber…..i made that all up.... i didn’t eat it .., EWWW…how can one EAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

can’t you see that its just so GELI and wobbly and jelly look alike?

BUT I had fun playing with it, because once u took it out, THE THINGY will jus squirt water out from a tiny hole AT THE END....something like ejaculation….i had fun squirting it to all my friends…… of course they were not very happy…..but who is?

Usually the person who gets to make fun of others will always have the ULTIMATE fun….

After some cam-whoring,

soaking and squirting ,

we finally went back to Long island, and this time the 45 mins of jungle trekk seems very fast because I think people are always eager to go to places and it always seems faster to get home…nevertheless, our adventure did not stop there…upon returning to long island, we continue to take a dip at the sea till the sun set and till our tummy gets hungry…

After we had dinner, we all went back to our chalets because we had signed up for a snokerlling course the next day at 10.30 am to go see sharks, turtles, fishes, corals and whatever u can find under the sea....

That bascially ends our day one in island escape........

Life's like that….

As I sip into my morning coffee that I made myself this morning in office, I browsed through the daily headlines and saw that the student of UTAR was sexually assaulted and strangled. I wondered that the city now I live had become more notorious and each headlines is affecting my career…

Just previous day, there was this guy who bought this condo in Mon’t Kira from an auction get to know that his house contained 11pieces of crap….you can imagine his horror…OMG..

Being sick with the headline, I went and browse the internet to read some blogs that I have missed. was also blog hopping till I came to this post:

Anyone looking for a place to stay?

hahaha…she jus posted it up a day ago and I came to know that a good friend of mine actually recommend me and I coincidence saw his comment..

Life is jus so small isn’t it, coincidence? It happens….where you least expected……

P/S: i promise after this i will post about my trip k?
